I'm a doctor, but I still missed my own low testosterone diagnosis'
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Dr Maxim Draper went from being active and driven to feeling like a shadow of himself after he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and later, viral meningitis. The 39-year-old GP from Newcastle, who now specialises in men's hormones, suffered with a persisting fatigue that gradually developed into very bad anxiety and brain fog that left him feeling defeated. But as a father-of-three, he put his constant fatigue down to burnout due to the stress of illness and young children."
The Independent funds on-the-ground journalism across reproductive rights, climate change, and technology and avoids paywalls by relying on reader donations. A doctor, Dr Maxim Draper, aged 39 and a GP from Newcastle specializing in men's hormones, experienced years of crushing fatigue, anxiety, and brain fog after testicular cancer and viral meningitis. He attributed symptoms to burnout while parenting three children and delayed considering hormonal causes. Dr Draper eventually received a low testosterone diagnosis and began testosterone treatment, which markedly improved his condition after prolonged decline.
