Manopause,” often referred to as male menopause or andropause, is a term used to describe the transitional period in a man’s life characterised by hormonal changes and associated physical and emotional symptoms. While not a medically recognised condition like menopause in women, manopause represents a significant phase of life that many men experience as they age.
Mid-Life Crisis or Natural Transition? It is more easily recognised that men go through a phase that is referred to as the “mid-life crisis”; a period marked by feelings of dissatisfaction, restlessness, and a desire for change. However, manopause goes beyond a simple crisis of identity; it encompasses physiological changes that can affect various aspects of men’s health and well-being.

Testosterone is a key hormone in men responsible for maintaining muscle mass, bone density, libido, and overall vitality. As testosterone levels decline, men may many symptoms:BUY HERE!
Navigating the Challenges: While manopause is a natural part of the aging process, it can present challenges for men as they strive to maintain their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Seeking support from healthcare providers, therapists, or support groups can help men navigate this transition with resilience and grace.
Embracing Change and Growth: Despite its challenges, manopause can also be a time of growth, self-discovery, and personal empowerment. By embracing change and prioritising self-care, men can navigate this transitional phase with confidence and emerge stronger and more resilient.

The Next Chapter: The Aging Man, A New Phase of Life is a supportive guide for men navigating midlife transitions.

Practical strategies for maintaining physical and mental health—such as diet, exercise, and stress management—are complemented by a focus on emotional resilience.
The book reframes midlife as a time of opportunity, emphasizing self-development through new skills, hobbies, and challenges. It also explores relationships, guiding men to nurture meaningful connections with family, friends, and communities.
A dedicated section on legacy inspires men to give back through mentorship and contribution, fostering a lasting impact.
Written with compassion, this guide empowers men to view midlife as a period of renewal, offering actionable steps to create a vibrant and purposeful next chapter

CEO Adrian Geissel highlights that the app’s six years of development have focused on data privacy and user experience, aiming to inspire greater participation in outdoor activities for health and wellbeing. Able Active is interactive, allowing users to rate and review amenities and contribute information on suitable parking, helping both peers and providers improve accessibility.
“Able Active offers a platform for gathering rich information to help disabled users plan activities
The app details surfaces, distances, durations, and more, and offers real-time weather and safety information. Users can record and share favourite routes, fostering a community of support and collaboration. Project lead Sarah Kerrigan emphasizes the importance of sharing knowledge to help others enjoy nature and being active.
ADVERTISMENT
This is a vision shared by Sarah Kerrigan, project lead for Able Active, who adds “I love the outdoors, but know from personal experience how little information is available on the accessibility of trails and other amenities. Working with Able Active allows me to make sure that the app and platform meets the needs of our users and for those who, like me, also want to share their knowledge to help others benefit from nature and being active.
