The Beneficial Functions of Brown Fat vs. White Fat

Reading Time: 3 minutes Body fat is quite a bit more complicated than most people believe. In fact, we've just begun to delve into the intricacies of how body fat really functions over the past few decades. Doctors and scientists used to hypothesize that body fat was inert, but those times are long gone. Today we understand that body fat performs many functions associated with metabolism, temperature regulation, hormone balance, and more. White Fat: Subcutaneous and Visceral Some types of fat are more helpful (and harmful) than others. A person can have moderate subcutaneous fat levels and still be very healthy. We now understand...

Researchers Investigate Declining Sperm Counts, Find Chemicals Rampant

Reading Time: 3 minutes Reproductive health is an essential avenue of scientific research. Scientists have been following a troubling trend over the last thirty years—sperm counts have been getting progressively lower among younger men. There are many factors that contribute to declining sperm production—an increase in obesity is one of the more significant culprits. Environmental influences also play a major role. Researchers have been paying increasing attention to the role of chemicals which disrupt hormone production and signaling in recent years—these chemicals are known as Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (or EDCs). Studies Show Sperm Counts Have Dropped Precipitously Past research makes it clear that there...

How Does Masturbation Affect Testosterone Levels? Exploring the Science

Reading Time: 3 minutes Historically, masturbation has gotten a bad wrap. You know what I'm talking about. People used to believe masturbation would make you go blind or that it would make you grow hair on your palms. Even if these myths started as white lies to help children keep their hands where you can see them, these old wives' tales have made it easier for us to believe that there is something unhealthy about masturbation, when that's just not the case for most people. While anything that provides pleasure leaves an opportunity for addiction, masturbation is a perfectly healthy and natural part of...

16 Cancer-Causing Foods to Avoid

Reading Time: 16 minutes As the year winds down, many folks are looking to the next year to make positive changes.

Low Testosterone and Hypogonadism: The Difference

Reading Time: 10 minutes The Effects of Hypogonadism on Men Learn more about the causes and cures of this ever-increasing problem Your physician enters the room with a somber demeanor and announces “Your blood tests are back, and it's confirmed: you have hypogonadism.” The response of many men to this somewhat confusing pronouncement is often: “what's that?” The medical, professional, clinical definition of hypogonadism is the reduction or absence of hormone secretion or other physiological activity of the gonads (testes). The Endocrine Society practice guideline has a similar definition: Hypogonadism in men is a clinical syndrome that results from failure of the testis to...

Human Growth Hormone Medical Guide

Reading Time: 19 minutes As one cocky news reporter put it, "Unless you're sleeping under a rock, you've probably heard about Human Growth Hormone."

Internationally recognized Rocky and Rambo star, Sylvester Stallone, was busted in Australia with HGH and allegedly...

Hormone Replacement Therapy Safe, Study Suggests

Reading Time: 2 minutes For ten years, many women going through menopause have shunned hormone replacement therapy after a landmark study suggested a link between HRT and breast cancer.

The new research follows women who began HRT at the onset of menopause (the 1,006 women involved in the study were white, healthy, and aged 45-58 years old). The study found that not only was there not an increased risk of cancer for the...

Testosterone Replacement Therapy Boosts Memory!

Reading Time: 7 minutes Alzheimer’s disease. Among baby boomers, this is the most dreaded disease imaginable. In fact, the very word causes many aging people to shudder in apprehension. When it comes right down to it, our minds and memories separate us from animals, and to lose the ability to reason is to lose our humanity, in a sense. Also, Alzheimer's is not the only predator lurking in the aging recess of our minds. Amnesia, dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and just plain old forgetfulness are all lying in wait to take their toll...and a terrible toll it is. Lapses in name recall and word-finding,...

Why You Need Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Reading Time: 9 minutes Ask any aging man... The effects of lowered testosterone levels that occur in an aging man's body are anything but pretty: weakened, flabby muscles, steady accumulation of ugly, toxin-laden fat, chronic fatigue, annoying joint pain...the hits just keep on coming. What's worse is that so many well-meaning “experts,” physicians included, continue to give their older patients that same old sad refrain..., "it's natural and happens to all of us...just get used to it” or some other meaningless platitudes that do nothing...absolutely nothing...to help stop the advance of these sad-sack symptoms. But you can fight back with Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)....

Testosterone FAQ’s

Reading Time: 17 minutes The Facts You Need to Know About Testosterone Q: What is Testosterone? A: Testosterone is a hormone, a chemical messenger – it is the sex hormone that is responsible for making males male, although women also have the hormone in small amounts. Also known as an androgen, Testosterone is produced mostly by the testes/testicles. The Leydig cells, present in certain parts of the testis, produce Testosterone. Men are infertile without Testosterone – during the process of spermatogenesis (development of mature sperm), germ cells are unable to progress beyond meiosis (reproductive cell division) in the absence of Testosterone. Q: Why should...

Androgel : Men Getting Their Mojo Back!

Reading Time: 3 minutes ANDROPAUSE: Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testicles. Men's testosterone levels naturally decline as they age. As this happens, men may only experience a few symptoms from this lower testosterone level that they can attribute to their age. However, other individuals develop hypogonadism, a disease in which the body is unable to produce reasonable amounts of testosterone due to either a problem with the testicles or the pituitary gland that controls the testicles. Hypogonadism can cause all the symptoms associated with lower testosterone levels in men younger than would usually be seen. In the case of hypogonadism, testosterone...

New Study Concludes: Boosting Testosterone Levels Lowers Men’s Death Risk

Reading Time: 4 minutes If you're worried about Testosterone Replacement, consider this: men with low testosterone (Low-T) are not less likely to die. On the contrary, according to a recent study, they are more liable to die! Men with Low-T over age 40 have an elevated risk of death over a four-year period compared to those with normal hormone levels, the study suggests. However, researchers caution that the link between low Testosterone and early death is still somewhat uncertain. They added the possibility that an unknown factor is responsible for both Low-T and accelerated mortality. Molly Shores of the VA Puget Sound...

Reading Time: 4 minutes Have you been struggling with discouraging weight gain as you get older? Are you finding it harder to develop muscle and burn fat?
