When Gravity Wins: The Inevitable Journey of Male Aging
Remember when your body seemed maintenance-free? When you could eat anything, sleep anywhere, and bounce back from any physical challenge? Then suddenly, your soul patch migrates to your earlobes, evening snacks trigger midnight heartburn, and bathroom breaks require theme music. Welcome to male aging-where we transition from MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" to a more sobering "Don't Touch That. It Hurts." This journey might be the hardest thing we ever do, but understanding how our bodies work provides clarity amid marketing schemes and misinformation. Even Matthew McConaughey found Dr. Craig Bowron's balanced approach to male aging "alright, alright, alright" for navigating these choppy waters-neither obsessively focused nor stubbornly in denial.
