Under Pressure: Onder Druk in Dutch: is a series of two-hour workshops for men. Each edition has its own theme around performing under pressure. You get an honest explanation of what happens in your body, measure your own starting point and put it into practice.
In collaboration with Counseling Amsterdam.
You sleep worse, recover more slowly and have less left at the end of a full week. So you train harder, or you wonder whether you should get your testosterone tested.
The short answer: men don't go through a menopause the way women do. Testosterone declines gradually, and for most men that isn't the whole story. Sleep, weight, drinking and recovery matter too. Your nervous system stays switched on for too long, and you can learn to shift down.
You won't get blood tests, supplements or hormone therapy here. If you have questions about those, or if you have symptoms, your GP is the right place to go. I'll also tell you when it's time to see them.
If you need more after the workshop, we'll discuss together what fits. There's no obligation.
