  1. Reading about andropause, which I'd never heard about before. Impacts some men over the age of 40. Quote:

    “The hormonal changes of women’s menopause happen in a relatively narrow window of time, but with age-related testosterone decline, it can be more of a ‘slow drip’ rather than a sudden moment. This means symptoms can often be passed off as being caused by aging, stress or a combination of both.”

    Symptoms:

    - Mood changes, including irritability, lower motivation and feelings of depression
    - Cognitive changes, like difficulty concentrating or memory lapses
    - Low energy and fatigue that isn’t explained by poor sleep alone
    - Reduced libido and fewer spontaneous erections
    - Loss of muscle mass and strength despite regular exercise
    - Increased body fat, particularly around the midsection
    - Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or poor-quality rest

  2. Looking for people (preferably #hexagenarians like me) interested (also practically) in #PhysicalCulture, #Bartitsu, historical #calisthenics, and other ways to befriend the #andropause.

    I started general exercises, soon advancing to wooden #barbel / #staff and then to #IronWand, #Cane and #stick #fencing.

    Skill & experience sharing, discussions, perhaps some group practice (online or offline). Anybody out there?
