Hey there, and welcome to Smart Men’s Health!
My goal is to provide you everything you need to know about optimizing your testosterone, sexual health and overall performance.
You’re a busy guy. (So am I!) You don’t have hours to be researching about men’s health issues. But it’s important for you to be educated and empowered with a to maximize your vitality to achieve your optimal potential.
That’s why I created Smart Men’s Health. Not just because I live and breathe men’s health every day in my medical practice, but because I live and breathe healthy lifestyle every day myself.
I’m here to provide men’s health information based on research and science from 20 years of clinical experience as a urologist, and based on my personal experience as a guy like you.
I’m here to be on this journey with you.
So let’s get going!
TESTOSTERONE 101
The American man is facing an epidemic of unprecedented proportions. (I’ll talk more about WHY later… book tease!) Men of all ages are suddenly finding themselves with plummeting testosterone levels… And it seriously impacts their everyday health.
Testosterone is the “male hormone.” It’s what gives you all those masculine attributes during puberty, like strong muscles, deeper voice, and body hair. But it’s also the hormone that controls energy, mood, focus, concentration, and even productivity. It’s the hormone that puts you in the zone to workout, go to work, or have sex.
But low testosterone can cause diminished sex drive, weight gain, insomnia, low energy, fatigue, lack of motivation, lowered mood, and infertility. In the long-term, low T can increase risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and metabolic syndrome.
Low T is a serious problem. If you want to maximize your health and performance, you definitely need optimal testosterone levels.
Now this can be achieved with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), but it’s always better to maximize your levels naturally if possible.
That’s one of the key goals of this site. I provide you step-by-step guides and information to optimize your hormones naturally, so you can get on the right track for long-term health.
THE ROLE OF EPIGENETICS
We all know that our genes control our bodies and health. They give you your eye color, your skin tone, and your height. But they also determine your health and lifestyle.
Certain genes can put you at risk for serious diseases and illnesses, while other genes can actually protect against those diseases.
For example, that’s why you’ll hear that cancer has a genetic link. You have an increased risk for a specific cancer if someone else in your family has been diagnosed with it. That’s because many cancers are genetic.
Your genetic expression even impacts your testosterone levels, likelihood of erectile dysfunction, and risk for prostate cancer.
But that doesn’t mean your genes have doomed you to disease. Research has proven that we can actually control the expression of our genes. That’s where epigenetics comes in.
Different lifestyle choices – how we treat our bodies – will activate or deactivate certain genes.
For example, working out for just 20 minutes a day can affect the expression of over 7000 genes to actually reduce your risk of developing cancer.
I am a huge believer in the power of epigenetics. Studies show that diet, exercise, sleep, stress, smoking, alcohol, and other lifestyle choices impact your genetic expression. With just one small shift, you can organize your genes to actually prevent cancer and disease and instead promote optimal health and performance.
