    Doctors Are Removing Testicles for This | Dr. Susan Macdonald
    May 5 2026
    Most men don't know they have a pelvic floor, and most doctors aren't trained to look for dysfunction in it. The result: testicles are being surgically removed for pain that's actually neuropathic, at double the rate of a far more effective nerve-sparing procedure.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Susan Macdonald, a board-certified urologist, surgical program director at Penn State, and one of only ~30 U.S. specialists treating chronic pelvic pain in men, to discuss:Why "prostatitis" is often the wrong diagnosis, and how rounds of antibiotics mask the real problemThe male pelvic floor anatomy almost no medical school teaches, and how to recognize dysfunction in yourself or a patientOff-label medications (Cymbalta, gabapentin, amitriptyline) that are quietly transforming chronic pelvic pain treatmentWhy erectile dysfunction is rising sharply in teenagers, and the role pornography plays in rewiring young brainsWho actually qualifies for a penile implant, and what the surgery really involvesIf you've been told your pain is "all in your head," or you're a clinician seeing patients fall through the cracks, this conversation gives you the framework, the language, and the next steps to find real answers.Thank you to our sponsors: Manukora - Go to https://www.MANUKORA.com/DRLYON to save 31% plus $25 worth of free gifts.Timeline - Get 20% off your Mitopure order at https://www.timeline.com/lyonBONCHARGE - Save 15% at https://boncharge.com/ with code DRLYONExplore More from Dr. Gabrielle LyonPremium Podcast Subscription: Ad-free episodes, key takeaway summaries, exclusive Q&A, and behind-the-scenes content https://foreverstrong.supercast.comWeekly newsletter: Recipes, podcast updates, and practical weekly insights https://drgabriellelyon.com/sign-up/Apply to become a patient: Personalized care with Dr. Lyon’s clinical team https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/Find Dr. Susan Macdonald at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsusanmacdonald/X (Twitter): https://x.com/smacdonald_mdLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-macdonald-506324191/Connect with Dr. Gabrielle LyonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/TikTok: @drgabriellelyonX (Twitter): https://x.com/drgabriellelyonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyonChapters00:00 - Introduction01:42 - Meet Dr. Susan Macdonald03:00 - The high-powered lawyer nobody could help05:01 - Why testicle pain is 5% of urology visits07:49 - Men have a pelvic floor (and what it does)12:46 - How a man knows he has pelvic floor dysfunction21:30 - Why these muscles are "too tight" in men26:33 - Chronic pain rewires the brain29:21 - Stress, trauma, and the mind-body connection33:29 - Stretching, breathing, and self-treatment at home36:21 - The medications that actually work (Cymbalta, gabapentin)44:34 - Muscle relaxers, acupuncture, and the guidelines panel55:09 - Sexual trauma and chronic pelvic pain01:00:08 - The "pain plus" diagnostic framework01:05:23 - The micro-surgical denervation surgery01:08:36 - Erectile dysfunction in 17-year-olds01:11:00 - How porn rewires young men's brains01:18:27 - 40% of men by 40, 50% by 5001:23:39 - Penile implants: who qualifies, how they work01:28:10 - Stage 4 cancer at 42 and the pivot to teaching01:34:17 - Living big with finite time01:39:00 - Closing message to chronic pain patientsIf you found this episode valuable, share it with someone who would benefit from it.This episode includes paid sponsorships.The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Podcast and YouTube are for general information purposes only and do not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

  • Mark Bell on Fat vs. Carbs, What’s Really Making You Fat?

    Mark Bell on Fat vs. Carbs, What’s Really Making You Fat?
    Apr 28 2026

    Most people are chasing the wrong version of strength and paying for it with pain, poor movement, and a body that breaks down faster than it should. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Mark Bell, elite powerlifter, entrepreneur, and founder of Slingshot, to discuss:

    • Why strength training is essential at every age but most people are defining "strength" too narrowly
    • How modern life has created an "exercise deficiency," and why artificial exercise is the only fix
    • The truth about fat, protein, and the biggest nutrition mistakes holding people back from lasting weight loss
    • The emerging peptide and drug landscape, and what it means for the future of health optimization
    • Why forcing your kids to move isn't cruelty, it's one of the most protective things you can do as a parent

    Whether you're 25 or 75, this episode will challenge how you think about movement, muscle, and what it actually means to be strong physically and mentally.
