Most men don’t know when they have high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol.
But they do know when they’re having trouble with erections or waking up multiple times at night to urinate.

That’s why urologists often become the first healthcare touchpoint for men — sometimes at age 50 or 60, the first time they’ve seen a doctor.

Men’s health isn’t just sexual health — it’s heart health, metabolic health, hormonal health, and longevity.
And as the field has evolved, urology became a gateway into all of it.

This conversation matters — especially during , a month dedicated to men’s health awareness.
Men deserve preventive care, early detection, and proactive health, not crisis care.

Low testosterone isn’t just about muscle or libido — it can also affect your mood, motivation, and mental clarity.

This , take a moment to check in with both your hormones and your mental health.

✅ Feeling less drive or focus?
✅ Experiencing mood swings or fatigue?
These can all be signs your body needs balance, not blame.

Both matter. Both deserve attention.

💥 Fellas—if your energy tanks at 2PM, your libido’s flat, and your doctor says your labs are “normal”… this conversation’s for you.

You’re not crazy.
You’re not weak.
And you’re definitely not alone.

Too many men are told “you’re just getting older” or “that’s normal.” It’s not. You can feel better, think clearer, and perform stronger—with safe, modern approaches to men’s health.

👥 Surround yourself with guys who don’t settle.
🩺 Find a specialist—an andrologist, men’s health urologist, or endocrinologist—who knows how to optimize testosterone safely.

This is your reminder that “feeling fine” isn’t the goal. Feeling great is.

⚖️ Bioidentical vs. Regular Testosterone — What You Need to Know

“Bioidentical” doesn’t always mean “better.”
Many FDA-approved testosterone options are already chemically identical to the hormone your body produces.

The real differences come down to:
✅ Safety & regulation (FDA-approved vs compounded)
✅ Dosing precision & quality control
✅ Individualized needs under a specialist’s care

I break down what this means for Los Angeles patients in the latest Peak Male MD Blog.

⚠️ Microplastics can damage male reproductive health in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

Here’s what the science suggests:

🔥 Inflammation: Once inside the testicle, microplastics increase inflammation and oxidative stress → DNA damage to s***m.
🧬 DNA damage: Damaged s***m DNA reduces fertility and reproductive success.
🚧 Barrier breach: Microplastics can cross the blood-testis barrier, allowing more toxins into the testicles.
🧠 Trojan horse effect: They can carry endocrine disruptors into organs—including the heart, lungs, testicles, and p***s.
💔 Erectile health: Inflammation in the p***s may lead to scarring, reduced blood flow, and even Peyronie’s disease.

We’re still studying the long-term effects—but early data is concerning.

💪 Can hitting the gym really replace Vi**ra?

I recently contributed to an article in GQ Magazine exploring how strength training impacts sexual health.

Here’s what the science shows:
✅ Improves blood-vessel and heart health
✅ Enhances testosterone receptor activity
✅ Boosts nitric-oxide signaling for stronger erections
✅ Pelvic-floor work strengthens rigidity and control

💡 A healthy body supports healthy sexual function—and exercise can make ED treatments more effective.

As I told GQ:

“Exercise builds the foundation. Vi**ra fine-tunes the signal.”

🧬 How microplastics affect men’s health

Research shows:
1️⃣ S***m formation: Animal studies reveal up to a 60% drop in s***m counts after plastic exposure.
2️⃣ Hormone production: Microplastics can damage Leydig cells—the cells in the testicles that make testosterone.
⚠️ This reduces hormone levels and further lowers s***m production.

While the dose that causes harm isn’t fully understood, every effort to minimize plastic exposure helps protect reproductive health.

It’s — but it’s not just about growing a mustache.

It’s about starting conversations that save lives.

Men are:
⚠️ Less likely to talk about their health
⚠️ Less likely to see a doctor
⚠️ More likely to die from preventable diseases

This month, I’ll be sharing practical insights on:
💪 Testosterone & hormone balance
🧬 Fertility & reproductive health
🩻 Prostate-cancer screening
🧠 Preventive care & mental health

Let’s normalize men taking care of themselves — because early action saves lives.

🚻 Do you wake up often at night to urinate or feel sudden urges throughout the day?
These could be signs of male overactive bladder (OAB) — a condition that’s far more common than most realize.

In this week’s Peak Male MD Blog, I break down the causes, treatment options, and practical steps to take control of your bladder health.

🧠 How do microplastics get into our bodies?

There are 3 main ways:

1️⃣ Inhalation — from dust and synthetic fabrics. When we breathe, these tiny particles enter our lungs and bloodstream.
2️⃣ Ingestion — from bottled water, plastic containers, and even seafood (fish ingest ocean microplastics—we ingest the fish).
3️⃣ Heating — microwaving or heating food in plastic increases microplastic release by up to 500%.

💡 Tip: Avoid microwaving plastic containers, limit bottled drinks, and choose natural fabrics when possible.

These small changes can help protect your long-term health.
