On average, men seek out far less preventive care than women do. Being that men are less in touch with their health, we are also less aware of the many challenges of modern life that become major men’s health concerns. [Read more…]
Breaking the Cycle of Sugar Addiction
Everyone loves a sweet treat now and again. We use sweets to celebrate holidays and birthdays or as a reward when someone achieves a goal, good grades, a promotion, and on and on. Many people also reach for sweets when they feel down or stressed. Americans today consume too much sugar and have a serious problem stopping. Sugar addiction is real. Just like a habit-forming drug, our bodies experience a dopamine rush when we eat sugar, and once it’s gone, we crave more. [Read more…]
Erectile Dysfunction – Fighting the Stigma
Affecting 40% of men in their 40s and increasing by 10% per decade, erectile dysfunction, or ED, isn’t very widely discussed amongst men. Often viewed as a weakness or deficiency, ED affects a man at his most intimate and vulnerable times, leaving him feeling as though he has failed his partner. He may feel inadequate, and his significant other may feel undesirable or unwanted. The truth is that ED is typically caused by something beyond a man’s control, and there are treatment options available to help men suffering from ED take back that control and start feeling like themselves again.

Not All Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) Is Created Equal
In men, testosterone is the main anabolic hormone produced by our bodies. Testosterone regulates fertility, muscle mass, fat distribution, red blood cell production, bone mineral density, mood, and libido. Male hypogonadism, or diminished testes function, can result in weight gain, loss of muscle mass, fatigue, an inability to focus, and waking without an erection. Men can actually experience low testosterone levels as early as their twenties. The good news is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) can help! But BEWARE – it is not a one-size-fits-all solution, as many providers treat it. [Read more…]
