It's a male menopause.

It's apparently often gradual.

It's a decline in testosterone levels in men, and it sort of begins to start falling at about 1.6% per year starting in a man's mid-30s.

I think it's a very, very gradual decline and it's not as intense as maybe what some women experience.

But overall, there is sort of evidence to say that people might feel a second puberty to do with hormones changing after adolescence.

There are secondary sex characteristics that keep developing.

Body composition shifting, so like where your weight and your muscle and bone density is happening, as well as your brain maturing and changing.

Like, again, like that prefrontal cortex developing after 25.

Yeah, I kind of wonder with people who messaged us and said that they had this like mental shift and that's what they felt like their second puberty was, like a clarity almost.

And I am like, maybe it's just the maturity thing.

Maybe it is just like your body settling in, you get to know yourself more or you care more about your health as you get older.

And so therefore you are making a conscious effort to take care of yourself and to be in tune and to like listen to yourself.

And

Yeah, just in general life, giving you lessons and you learn and you mature.

But, you know, so many of you said to us that, like, that positive feeling, that mental shift was a second puberty that you actually really enjoyed.

This is what Sarah said about it.

What a great observation there.

I think that would definitely help someone's journey in that.

And yeah, I think

That kind of coming of age like mentally and spiritually can be quite freeing and quite beautiful when you just feel so you.
