James has written the Midlife Male Handbook as a comprehensive resource designed to help men reclaim their vitality during andropause and reduce stigmas of men's health.2025-03-1126 minThe Midlife MentorsRegaining Confidence At MidlifeOur confidence can really take a dip at midlife for various reasons.
