A personal note from Vladimir Fanshil & Eleanor Lyons
Live at Yours began in the most unexpected way — in our own living room. In 2020, when the world fell silent, we refused to believe that music should exist only on screens. So we gathered a handful of people, pulled the chairs close, and performed for twenty guests at a time. Those evenings were small, fragile, unforgettable — and they reminded us why we became musicians: to share something real, something human, something that only exists when people come together.
A New Way to Experience Music
In the first years, we travelled across NSW and the ACT, giving more than 50 performances in lounge rooms, coffee roasteries, tin sheds in the outback, art galleries, churches, synagogues and regional theatres.
It was in those intimate settings that we connected deeply with locals, listened to their feedback, and discovered what Australians truly value in live music: informal yet refined, relaxed yet deeply sincere, intimate yet world-class.
Those conversations shaped everything — from our welcoming tone to having no intervals, allowing the emotional arc to flow without interruption. This is how we crafted the ultimate listening experience we offer today: personal, natural and genuinely shared.
From a lounge room to a national stage
Live at Yours has now grown far beyond our living room — into concert spaces across Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Orange, Castlemaine and beyond — yet the essence remains unchanged.
Every venue is chosen for its story and atmosphere. Every performance is lit and shaped to feel close, warm and immersive. And every artist who joins us shares our belief in vulnerability, honesty and connection.
World-class artists, up close
Extraordinary artists, shared in intimate spaces — where every detail comes alive.

Committed to the next generation
As Live at Yours grows, so does our responsibility to young musicians. Through masterclasses, mentoring, and partnerships with ANAM and the Sydney Conservatorium, we help the next generation experience the same intimacy and inspiration that shaped our early years.
Thank you for being part of this journey!
We can’t wait to welcome you — up close, and personal.
Androgel: A Doctor’s Perspective on Restoring Vitality After 30 – An Australian Guide
A – Attention: Does this sound familiar? After hitting 30, you notice a creeping fatigue that caffeine can’t fix, a thickening waistline that refuses to budge despite clean eating and regular gym sessions, and a worrying drop in your libido. Maybe your mood has become darker, your mind foggier, and your confidence – in the boardroom and the bedroom – has taken a hit. You’re not imagining things. For many Australian men, these are the tell‑tale signs of age‑related testosterone decline, known as hypogonadism. Left unaddressed, low testosterone quietly erodes your quality of life. But there is a medically proven, needle‑free solution that fits seamlessly into your daily routine: Androgel (testosterone 1% gel). As a doctor who has treated hundreds of men with low T, I’ve seen this simple gel transform lives. Read on to understand how Androgel can help you reclaim your edge – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
I – Interest: Understanding Androgel and its unique advantages
Androgel is a once‑daily, odourless, clear gel that delivers bio‑identical testosterone through the skin, raising your levels back to a healthy, youthful range. Unlike injections, Androgel provides steady, predictable hormone release without sharp peaks or valleys, and it completely bypasses the liver – a major benefit for long‑term metabolic health. Most importantly for men who dread needles or want to avoid injection‑site scarring, it’s applied to the shoulders, upper arms, or abdomen and dries in minutes. There is no risk of permanent needle marks, lumpy scar tissue, or the ongoing anxiety of self‑injection. You simply rub it on clean, dry skin each morning and get on with your day, feeling normal.
Androgel Packaging Sizes and Doses per Container
In Australia, Androgel is available in two convenient presentations. Understanding your supply and how many doses each pack provides is essential for planning your treatment and repeat scripts.
| Pack Size |
Format |
Strength per Dose |
Doses per Container |
| 88 g metered‑dose pump |
Multi‑dose gel pump |
12.5 mg testosterone per 1.25 g gel (1 actuation) |
60 metered doses – after priming, discard the first 3 actuations. At a standard starting dose of 4 actuations (50 mg), one pump lasts 15 days. |
| 5 g sachets |
Single‑dose sachet (box of 30) |
50 mg testosterone per 5 g sachet |
1 dose per sachet – each box provides a 30‑day supply at the 50 mg daily dose. Ideal for travel or those who prefer single‑use packaging. |
Your doctor will tailor your dose – typical daily doses range from 50 mg to 100 mg (4 to 8 pump actuations or 1‑2 sachets). The pump’s built‑in counter helps you track remaining doses, so you never run out unexpectedly. For a busy Australian lifestyle, this predictability removes stress from medication management.
Androgel and Scars: No Needle, No Worry
One of the most underrated advantages of Androgel is its complete elimination of needle‑related issues. Traditional testosterone injections can cause local pain, bleeding, and over time, fibrosis or visible scarring at the injection site. For men who are active, sporty, or simply self‑conscious about their body, Androgel leaves no marks. You apply the gel to intact, healthy skin. While you should avoid open wounds, healed scars are generally fine – but rotate application areas to prevent irritation. This needle‑free path reduces treatment anxiety and makes TRT truly invisible, both during wear and in its physical legacy.
D – Desire: Turning symptoms into solutions – how Androgel rewrites your story
Low testosterone isn’t just a number on a pathology report; it’s a thief that steals your drive, your sharpness, and your intimacy. Here’s how Androgel directly addresses the pain points that matter most to men over 30.
| Pain Point |
How Androgel Helps |
| Androgel and Depression |
Clinical studies show that normalising testosterone can significantly reduce depressive symptoms, irritability, and mood swings. Many men who were prescribed antidepressants actually improved once their low T was correctly treated with Androgel, because the root hormonal imbalance was resolved. You regain a stable, positive outlook and the motivation to engage fully with your family and work. |
| Androgel and Cognitive Function |
Brain fog, forgetfulness, and difficulty concentrating are common when testosterone is low. Androgel helps restore mental clarity, processing speed, and working memory. Patients often report feeling “sharper” at work and more mentally present in conversations – a game‑changer for demanding careers and active parenting. |
| Androgel and Erectile Dysfunction |
Testosterone is the key that unlocks libido and supports the biochemical pathways for erections. While it isn’t a stand‑alone cure for all forms of ED, in men with borderline or low T, Androgel can dramatically improve sexual desire, erectile quality, and sexual satisfaction – often within weeks. It re‑ignites the confidence to pursue intimacy. |
| Androgel and Sports Medicine |
For the recreational athlete, the weekend warrior, or the dad who wants to keep up with his kids, Androgel helps reclaim physical vitality. Normal testosterone supports lean muscle mass, recovery, and bone density. Combined with sensible exercise and nutrition, it lets you train more effectively and bounce back faster. Important note for competitive athletes: Androgel is prohibited in‑competition by WADA/ASADA without a Therapeutic Use Exemption. It is a medical treatment, not a performance shortcut, and should always be used under strict medical supervision. |
Androgel Travel Tips – Your On‑the‑Go Guide
Whether you’re flying from Sydney to London, road‑tripping up the coast, or commuting between work sites, Androgel is designed for portability. Follow these doctor‑approved travel pointers to stay compliant and stress‑free.
| Travel Tip |
Details |
| Carry documentation |
Always keep your original pharmacy label and a brief letter from your GP stating that Androgel is prescribed for a diagnosed medical condition. This is especially helpful at international customs and security checks. |
| Pack in carry‑on |
An 88 g pump contains approximately 75 mL of gel – well under the 100 mL liquid limit. Keep it in your hand‑luggage to avoid extreme temperatures in the cargo hold. Security officers recognise medical gels. |
| Temperature care |
Androgel needs no refrigeration. Simply store it at room temperature (below 25°C) and never leave it in a hot car or direct sunlight. If travelling to very hot regions, a cool bag is sufficient. |
| Enough supply |
Calculate your needs: a 4‑actuation daily user will finish one pump in 15 days. For a month‑long trip, pack two pumps or a box of 30 sachets. Don’t assume you can fill a script overseas – plan ahead. |
A – Action: Take the first step back to your best self
If any of the symptoms above resonate – the unexplained exhaustion, the low mood, the fading desire, or the mental fog – it’s time to stop guessing and start doing. A simple blood test arranged by your GP can confirm whether low testosterone is the culprit. Androgel is not a “lifestyle drug”; it is a targeted medical therapy that restores a fundamental hormone to its optimal level. From my clinical experience, the transformation can be profound: men report feeling like themselves again, sometimes for the first time in years.
Don’t settle for a half‑life. Speak to your doctor today about Androgel. Your vitality, your relationships, and your self‑confidence are worth it. Reclaim your edge – one pump, one day at a time.
