Anyone who has ever had a major medical issue—even a routine surgery—is familiar with the process of blood work. Laboratory tests, evaluating the blood for potential abnormalities, are a staple of modern healthcare, so much so that blood tests are generally included in annual physicals and routine diagnostics. Hopefully, you’ve enjoyed such sterling health that there’s never been anything the least bit worrisome or out of the ordinary about your own blood work.

There’s a common misconception about nutrition. The conventional wisdom is that you should be able to get all your nutrients just from eating a balanced diet; that if you practice good nutrition, you’ll optimize your health, with nothing further needed.

There is much talk about the obesity epidemic in America—about our population’s burgeoning weight problem. Often, though, this talk is superficial. We focus on lifestyle issues and on the external symptoms of being overweight, but not necessarily on some of the underlying medical conditions that could be fueling the obesity epidemic.

You may not know much about nitric oxide, but rest assured that it’s important to your body’s functionality—and that its absence can lead to anything from cardiovascular problems to erectile dysfunction.

Nitric oxide is a gas—its chemical formulation NO—that has major implications for the human body. Study into the bodily impact of nitric oxide began in the 1970s, and by the 1990s scientists had begun championing it as one of the most significant of all biological compounds. In 1992, Science proclaimed it Molecule of the Year.

Men, it seems, just aren’t what they used to be. Though science cannot fully explain or account for it, men today—compared to the men who lived a century ago—have a decreased level of testosterone; heightened levels of estrogen; and—most worrisome on a practical level, perhaps—decreased sperm counts.

Maybe you have heard stories or anecdotal laments, suggesting that today’s men just aren’t quite as... well, manly as the men who came before. We’re here to tell you that this isn’t just anecdotal. There’s real science behind it. One prominent journal reports a “population-wide decline” in testosterone levels—a development that’s worrying, to say the least.

Most guys experiencing a decline in bedroom performance generally have no idea that there are erectile supplements with solid research behind them and a good safety profile as well. Most males turn immediately to the PDE5 Inhibitors, those ED pills tablets and capsules we see so predominantly advertised daily on television, in print and on the radio, without even considering that there are much less expensive alternatives available that, in some cases, have been used by men effectively for decades or even centuries.

We see it all the time: men who are otherwise health-conscious and otherwise living a natural lifestyle show up obviously addicted to pain medications. We have no doubt that it probably started out innocently enough - perhaps pain in the knee or back or even recovery from surgery.

Pellet therapy is used to balance the hormones within the body by replenishing the hormones rather than replacing them.

Rob used to love his job. He worked for a well-known computer company and liked to toy around with rebuilding old cars on the weekend.  Lately, he just seemed to lose his passion for both.  He had just turned 52 and didn’t have the energy he used to have.  In fact, there were a lot of things he felt weren’t the same as they were before.
