And it took a long time. We were out there for two hours going through this lake. So the other thing I think about is Christmas, and I think about my nieces. So my brother's a year older than me, and he has three kids under the age of six. And you know what that's like. These kids just sprint off in every direction. And they'll say to my dad, they'll say, come and play in the garden.
and my dad um wouldn't be able to play with them in the garden the way that they would want to play in the garden running around and being chased around so my dad just watches them from the kitchen and so these are just obviously all the emotional things come to mind first because those are the things that stay with us and i'll give you one more um

The other thing that comes to mind as a man is just being able to protect my family. And I don't necessarily mean wrestle an intruder, but I mean like lift things. And if something falls, being able to pick it up and move it. So those are the things that come to mind first and foremost. It's protection, it's memories, it's activities that create relationships and connection.

Part of the reason why I think people don't care enough is because they see aging as inevitable. So they look at their parents, their grandparents and go – They're immobile. They can't function properly. That's my destiny. It's genetic.

Springs to mind this graph I saw the other day, which I'd sent to my friends, which shows that the decline, I think it was in muscle mass from when you're 30. And it makes the point that there's this line on this graph called disability. And it shows that people who didn't have enough muscle mass when they were 30 cross the line of disability when they're 70.

And those that did have more muscle mass at 30 don't get close to that line. So that for me was shocking because it goes to show that what I do now is going to determine whether I'm, by all intents and measures, disabled when I'm 70 or if I'm able.

52. What do you wish someone had told you when you were 32? I'm 32 years old. What do you wish someone had screamed in your face and told you when you were my age?

On that point of advice that you gave me there about emotional health, one of the things that's been very front of mind for me at the moment is men's health, specifically men's emotional health.

Because I read a report that came out in March called Lost Boys, and it just details this pretty horrific picture of men's emotional health in the UK at the moment in particular, but the trend holds around the world. And It came out in the start of March. It's been in all the newspapers in the UK. And it details a couple of sort of headline stats. The reverse gender pay gap amongst young men.

So women are now earning more. You know the stats probably around suicide. Yeah, suicide. And one in seven young men are unemployed or out of work. All these sort of horrific stats. And then it compounds with things like suicidal ideation, et cetera, et cetera. I was thinking about this this morning when I was listening to some of your work.

I was thinking, I wonder what Peter's perspective is on what it is to be a man. Actually, it does kind of dovetail into some of your work around testosterone and the decline in testosterone. And because one of the things I was thinking about is how testosterone plays a role in what it is to be a man. But if you look at the stats around testosterone, it appears to be declining. Yes.
