#009 Dr Robert Stevens - Testosterone and Modern Men's Health
Dr Robert Stevens graduated from Sheffield Medical School in 1997 with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBChB). Initially working in surgery, Dr. Stevens eventually shifted his focus to primary care, earning his Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP) qualification in 2010. Over time, he grew disillusioned with the direction of General Practice, feeling that it had become more commercialised, and sought to emphasise prevention through lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise rather than relying solely on modern medicine.
In 2013, Dr Stevens earned a Diploma in Fitness & Personal Training (Dip.FIPT), aiming to merge health and fitness with medical practice. A fitness enthusiast at heart, he has always pushed his physical and mental limits, learning important lessons along the way.
His interest in optimisation led him to study Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome. Inspired by figures like Dr Jeffery Life and Vitor Belfort, he recognised the need for advocacy in this area in the UK and sought to modernise the medical approach to testosterone therapy, free from the influence of pharmaceutical companies.
In 2016, Dr Stevens founded The Men's Health Clinic, allowing the practice to grow organically while continuing his work in the NHS. Dr Stevens remains committed to staying current with research and clinical advancements and is an active member of various prestigious medical societies including the British, European & International Societies of Sexual Medicine, The Androgen Society and the British Menopause Society.
