For one, there has been some evidence that suggests that Testosterone Replacement Therapy increases the risk of Prostate Cancer and other Reproductive Cancers. Based on new research published by The Journal of Urology, however, the risk of Prostate Cancer that has been previously associated with Testosterone Therapy is overstated, and may not increase the risk of the form of cancer at all.

young men showing low testosterone levels 300x283Low testosterone levels seen in adolescent and young males when their levels should really be the highest in their lifetimes The update on testosterone levels of young men in the United States for 2020 is in and it is not good news. A series of scientific studies were presented on May 15th at the American Urological Association 2020 Virtual Experience press conference and they displayed some interesting, but disturbing, findings. One of these studies involved 4,045 men (adolescents and young men) who were between the ages of 15 and 39 years. They all participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) and had their total testosterone levels measured over the time period between 1999 and 2016. Total testosterone is a measure of how much testosterone there is in the blood in both free and bound forms. Most of the testosterone is attached to two different proteins: albumin and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Other testosterone molecules travel around free in the bloodstream. Total Testosterone Levels Falling Over Time in Young Men The results of the data analysis showed that total testosterone was significantly lower in the young men who were part of the 2011-2016 group when compared to the … Read more »

testosterone molecule 300x300Video Download: Physiology Of Testosterone Video Stream: Physiology Of Testosterone What is Testosterone? Testosterone is one of the many chemical messengers known as Hormones, and it is essential for the usual health and function of both men and women. However, the hormone is primarily associated with male wellness and development. Testosterone belongs to a specific class of hormones known as steroids. Most people think of steroids as hormones or chemicals that boost anabolic, muscle-building performance. Still, a steroid represents a molecule with a specific structure that is most commonly used to deliver messages and exert physiological changes in the body. Three common steroids are cholesterol, testosterone, and estrogen. In fact, the human body builds both Testosterone and Estrogen from a core of cholesterol, which is one reason why cholesterol is such an essential part of daily nutritional intake. Testosterone and Prenatal Development Testosterone is responsible for the development of primary male sex characteristics while the child is still in the womb. In the normal developmental cycle, Testosterone begins to affect the male fetus around seven weeks after conception. It encourages the formation of Leydig Cells, which are responsible for the production of Testosterone. After the fetus develops its own ability … Read more »

My Journey In And Out Of Andropause!


Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on June 4th, 2020
| Comments Off on My Journey In And Out Of Andropause!

Back in 2000, I experienced many of the signs and symptoms of andropause, i.e., my sex drive was low; my mood was poor; my zeal for life was so non-existent ... For several years now, my great interest has been hormone levels and how to fine-tune their balancing act. What I've learned over the years has benefited not only myself, but also my customers. I've been candid with my studies and personal experiences along the way but less well-known is that I began my investigation into hormonal balancing for personal reasons. I'm now 35 years old with the hormonal profile of a healthy eighteen-year-old. My mood is upbeat; my experience of life intense, my training gains are solid and my sex drive is optimal. I'm not boasting; I tell you this because what I learned--and recommend--works. It works for me and will work for you as well. It took many years of private research and testing to get where I am now but not too long ago things were much different for me. Back in 2000, I experienced many of the signs and symptoms of andropause, i.e., my sex drive was low; my mood was poor; my zeal for life … Read more »

If a man lives to be eighty, there is more than a ninety percent chance that he will experience a measurable level of Prostate Enlargement. A large chunk of those men, around forty percent, will need some form of medical intervention for BPH.

The Truth Behind Common Male Sex Myths

couple 731890_640Video Download: The Truth Behind Common Male Sex Myths Video Stream: The Truth Behind Common Male Sex Myths Despite the fascination with sex by the Western public and encouraged by the Western media, there are still many aspects of our sexuality, in which we are misinformed, largely because of our still somewhat-Puritanical views on sex in many aspects. A recent book looks to dispel some of these sex-myths, and it is called “Sex by Numbers: What statistics can tell us about sexual behavior.” In a world where we are fascinated by the mythology behind sexuality, this book attempts to dispel (or validate) those myths using real scientific data about sexuality. The author of the book is Cambridge professor Dr. David Spielgalhalter. What is the average male penis size? The commonly held wisdom regarding penis-size is that the average length of the male penis is around six inches. This myth is among the easiest to clarify because research has been abundant in recent years regarding penis size all across the world. One group of researchers performed a survey of twenty different studies related explicitly to penis-size, measuring over 15,000 men across the globe. One of the issues which made previous studies … Read more »

The Effects of Marijuana on Testosterone Production


Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on May 23rd, 2020
| Comments Off on The Effects of Marijuana on Testosterone Production

cannabis use and testosterone levels 300x188As America becomes more open to the idea of legal cannabis, more time and money is being spent on marijuana research. In 1937, marijuana was officially prohibited nationwide, except for medical use. Weed has had a serious stigma that it has just begun to overcome in the 21st century. While advocates have touted the amazing benefits of cannabis, we've really only begun to scientifically document those benefits. For men, testosterone is critical to masculinity, virility, and well-being. Testosterone deficiency has a serious impact on both psychological and physical health. Some studies published recently have sought to analyze the effect of various chemicals and pharmaceuticals on testosterone levels. Many chemicals, like bisphenol-A, are endocrine-disrupting chemicals. BPA increases the expression of estrogen and suppresses the production of testosterone. Could THC negatively alter testosterone expression? How Does Weed Effect Testosterone Levels in Men? NORML (the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) is an advocacy group that helps push pro-cannabis legislation and research to the forefront of the American public. They recently showcased a study showing that men that used marijuana had higher testosterone levels on average than men that choose not to partake.

Enclomiphene Citrate (Androxal) for Low-T and Infertility


Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on May 22nd, 2020
| Comments Off on Enclomiphene Citrate (Androxal) for Low-T and Infertility

enclomiphene citrate androxal TRT 199x300While testosterone therapy is a fantastic tool in the arsenal against low-T and andropause, there are other options available for testosterone replacement. One group for whom testosterone therapy is particularly problematic is men that are looking to conceive. Bio-identical testosterone effectively takes over for almost every aspect of natural testosterone production. Unfortunately, however, testosterone therapy temporarily suppresses fertility for the duration of the treatment. This inevitably leads men with fertility-needs to seek other treatment. Why Does Testosterone Therapy Lead to Temporary Infertility? In a closed system, the body produces testosterone when the hypothalamus receives input to produce more testosterone. The brain monitors circulating testosterone levels and responds accordingly. In the case of testosterone hormone therapy, the hypothalamus gets the signal to limit or stop testosterone production based on biological feedback. In the process of this hormonal cascade, the pituitary limits or halts production of vital testosterone precursors, including luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Both hormones are critical for the production of healthy sperm. This is why testosterone treatment negatively affects fertility, while preserving most other testosterone benefits. Enclomiphene Citrate (Androxal) Boosts Testosterone and Encourages Fertility For patients that are interested in maintaining fertility while also promoting optimal testosterone levels, Enclomiphene … Read more »
