    About this ebook

    You’ve reached POINT MERIDIAN, the transition ‘zone’ for men experiencing a decline in testosterone, clinically referred to as Andropause. The recent deluge of high-profile scandals involving rich and powerful men—committing less than scrupulous acts—has prompted global inquiry into the state of masculinity. In an age of infidelity and unconscious perversion, have these unsuspecting entertainers, athletes and the politically ‘incorrect’ lost their moral compass? Or, is the inexplicable behavior representative of a larger issue that’s been swept under the rug far too long?

    Medical professionals are beginning to align their beliefs that Andropause—the condition resulting from declining testosterone levels—not only exists, but has become one of the most challenging transitions in a man’s life. It has been estimated by some researchers that as many as 25 million men in the United States, between the ages of 35 – 65, have entered the zone completely unaware and its wreaking havoc in their lives and those whom they love.

    The journey through the zone can profoundly affect every aspect of a man’s life—physical, psychological, interpersonal, social and spiritual. Living recklessly becomes a way of escape for some and they may become involved in scandalous affairs with younger women, excessive drinking or drug use, increased social activities, engagement in more risky behavior or go to extremes to alter their looks to appear more youthful. The urge to dissolve a marriage, abandon the children or look for a new career is not uncommon for men inside the zone. Uncharacteristic behavior can also occur ranging from mild mood swings to depression and even suicide.

    The short list of symptoms include, but are not limited to: irritability, fatigue, unhappiness, anger, crying, decreased muscle mass and strength, decreased libido, not interested in sex (with your wife, that is), erectile dysfunction, hot flashes, brain fog, growing breasts. Yeah, I hear you, Dude. I’m never gonna enter the zone; it won’t happen to me! Now hear this: Though symptoms of Andropause will vary with each man, no one is exempt from the journey.

    POINT MERIDIAN begins a discussion about the perplexing phenomenon and examines how men respond to the change. The GOOD NEWS! Andropause is a treatable condition. Medical and mental health professionals agree that men can succeed into second adulthood as healthier, wiser and more accomplished human beings.

      Acknowledgements

      To all the honest men that allowed me inside access to their personal ‘zone’, I thank you. While the journey for each of you was uniquely challenging, you all demonstrated the courage to complete the transition as better, more purposeful human beings. And to the men who persisted in their denials, I appreciate you as well. Full comprehension of a matter involves observing all sides. To inquiring minds that were so desperate for answers—and to whom I was more than happy to oblige—I thank you for the opportunity to exchange this invaluable knowledge and bring awareness to the multitudes worldwide.

      To all the medical community, researchers and mental health professionals who are committed to a better understanding of men’s health, and who have enlightened my understanding of the phenomenon in a powerful way, I am truly grateful and I applaud you.

      CHAPTER 1

      Entering the Zone

      The man in the mirror you once knew reflects a stranger today. You’re moody, irritable, indecisive, lost your enthusiasm. The sudden spurts of heat from within summons anxiety and you’re snapping angrily for no reason. You have no interest in sex—with your wife that is—and your libido has taken a dive. Noticeable gray temples and a receding hairline have you exploring other more appealing options. Waist-line expansion feels like the force of nature; you’re gaining weight and the decrease in
