About Keeping It Up with Dr. Mehan

Keeping It Up with Dr. Mehan is where men’s health gets real. Hosted by board-certified urologist Dr. Rahul Mehan, the show goes beyond the exam room to talk openly about the things men actually care about—testosterone, sex, prostate health, performance, fitness, longevity, relationships, and what it really takes to stay healthy as you get older. Expect straight answers, great guests, new science, a little controversy, and plenty of conversations you probably won’t hear at your annual physical. Because getting older is inevitable. **Acting old isn’t.** Let’s keep it up.
