“In terms of men's mental health, there's a lot of issues with guys feeling alone and strange, depressed and anxious and they don't have the resources to talk about it. “  

While still in his residency, Dr. Justin Houman began to notice the concerning lack of productive discussion and support around the issues men face with their hormonal, sexual and mental health. He also witnessed that the quick hormonal fixes that were being offered to men were detrimental to their long term health, so Dr. Houman endeavored to fill the void by offering a level of care that addresses the underlying issues.
I sat down with Dr. Justin Houman, a urologist specializing in men’s reproductive health and fertility, to discuss how he is offering men hope for a healthy future and a safe space to receive care. Dr. Houman shares his journey to becoming a physician, and how his parents adversity and work ethic played a large part in that decision. Dr. Houman also shares about the taboo around talking about men’s health and sexual dysfunction, how porn can impact sexual performance, and his new research trial in support of men’s fertility, and much more.
