Video Download: Primary Vs Secondary Hypogonadism In Men Video Stream: Primary Vs Secondary Hypogonadism In Men Testosterone Deficiency, also known as Low-T, is one of the most common forms of Hormone Imbalance that affect the lives of men in America. Testosterone Deficiency is also known as Male Hypogonadism. Hypogonadism is just a fancy term that means that your sex organs are producing abnormally low levels of sex hormones. Hypogonadism can be separated into two categories: Primary and Secondary Hypogonadism. If diagnosed with Primary Hypogonadism, this means that the testes are functionally unable to produce enough Testosterone to meet the body's needs. Signals are being sent from the brain to produce Testosterone, but the signal doesn't lead to hormone production. Men with Secondary Hypogonadism, on the other hand, have perfectly functional testes, but aren't receiving sufficient stimulation from the Hypothalamus to produce Testosterone. Secondary Hypogonadism is usually related to the under-production of Sex Hormone Precursors Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH), both of which are critical to the production of Testosterone and Sperm. Which Form of Hypogonadism Is More Common? It is much more common for men to experience Secondary Hypogonadism than Primary Hypogonadism. Generally, the testes remain capable … Read more »

Video Download: Building Muscle Burning Fat And Busting Myths Video Stream: Building Muscle Burning Fat And Busting Myths Most people make healthy lifestyle changes for two reasons—to get stronger and lose weight. One of the more pernicious myths among Americans is that diet and exercise convert fat into muscle. While it's easy to imagine the thought process that leads to this conclusion, it couldn't be further from the truth. While similar lifestyle choices lead us to increase muscle mass and burn off fat, these changes occur due to separate mechanisms.Fat and muscle cells have different purposes and are structured entirely differently. Fat cells are specifically designed to store energy, and muscle cells are composed of protein and burn energy when used.Understanding Fat vs. MuscleThere are three categories of muscle. Skeletal Muscles are what most people imagine when they think of muscle. Skeletal muscles give us the ability to move voluntarily. They get stronger when we work out and allow us to lift more and use our bodies more gracefully. Smooth muscle is mostly located in the digestive tract to absorb nutrients and pass waste. Cardiac muscle is specially designed to meet the constant demands of the heart. Muscle is comprised … Read more »

It's clear that Testosterone is intricately involved in how men experience the disease. Testosterone has an important role in modulating the function of the immune system.

This makes men slightly more prone to certain infections but dramatically less likely to suffer from autoimmune disorders than women. Covid-19 is slightly more infectious among men than women. This is not where the danger of Covid-19 lies, however. The majority of people infected by the novel coronavirus experience only minor symptoms or no symptoms. Cytokine Storm Contributes to Covid-19 Mortality Risk Think of Covid-19 as a virally transmitted autoimmune condition. The virus is deadly largely because it leads to Cytokine Storm. Cytokines are proteins that send signals for the immune system to go on the attack. In the case of Cytokine Storm, these proteins urge the immune system to go haywire. … Read more »
