Indian males now experience an unseen tug-of-war between deadlines and dumbbells, between family responsibilities and physical fitness objectives: work relentlessly but never stop. Despite the increase in the wellness discourse, it still fails to address many of the issues that men silently face, such as decreased testosterone, chronic stress, exhaustion, and poor endurance.

"In a world marked by fast food, faster timelines, and digital overload, we need more than just protein shakes and energy shots," said Dr. Govindarajan, Kapiva's Chief Innovation Officer. Systems that last are what we require. That is precisely what Ayurveda, India's 5,000-year-old science of life, provides: a comprehensive, proactive strategy for dealing with the ever-changing issues of contemporary masculinity.

A 2021 study revealed that 46% of Indian men are deemed unhealthy, struggling with ailments such as heart disease, diabetes, and lifestyle-related illnesses, and that this is not only about aging—male fertility is also negatively affected. Worldwide sperm counts have decreased by more than 50% during the last 40 years, and sperm quality has also deteriorated.

“Stress, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, and lack of restorative sleep are driving the decline,” Dr. Govindarajan stated. The effect is more than just low productivity; it's sapping long-term vigor.

The Ayurvedic method: Don't simply respond, restore.

"Ayurveda doesn't chase symptoms," Dr. Govindarajan said. "It balances the entire system, the body, mind, and energy." For men, this involves establishing the cornerstones of resilience, fortitude, and stress recuperation. Ayurvedic herbs function in harmony with the body, unlike synthetic stimulants.

He singled out two driving forces behind the shift, namely:

1. The Ancient Source of Modern Energy is Shilajit.

Shilajit, a mineral-rich resin that oozes from Himalayan rocks, is revered in Ayurvedic texts as a "destroyer of weakness." It is proven by scientific evidence to boost testosterone production, boost energy, endurance, metabolism, and improve muscular strength.

According to a study published in Andrologia, men who took purified Shilajit for more than 90 days experienced a 23.5% rise in their testosterone levels. Shilajit is a powerful adaptogen that enhances endurance and alleviates weariness without overexciting the body in today's stressful, sedentary lifestyles.

2. Ashwagandha: The Best Adaptogen in Ayurveda

Hormonal factors contribute to contemporary stress as well as emotional ones. As the most well-known adaptogen in Ayurveda, ashwagandha aids in lowering cortisol, the body's main stress hormone. A clinical trial that was conducted in 2021 and published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology discovered that daily ashwagandha usage for eight weeks resulted in a noticeable decrease in stress and an improvement in sleep quality. More vigor, less worry. more restful sleep. No mishap.

A new model of strength: Built for the long game

Dr Govindarajan said, “Ayurveda teaches that true health is cultivated—not crisis-managed. With rising rates of early burnout, fatigue and hormonal imbalance in men, it’s time to move from reaction to prevention.”

He concluded, “Today’s man lives between ambition and anxiety but strength doesn’t have to cost balance. With herbs like Shilajit and Ashwagandha, men can build clean, consistent energy—naturally. So the question isn’t whether Ayurveda fits into your life. It is: Can you afford to ignore it any longer?”
