The medications used for treating BPH can mask true PSA levels; based on prior research, the PSA value should be doubled. I didn’t know that and evidently neither do many of the men who take the medications known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. Does it have an impact on prostate cancer diagnosis and mortality? Researchers examined […]
One of the reasons I love what I do is that I learn something new just about every day. In this case, it may help some men sooner rather than later if they have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The urethra runs right through the prostate gland. As a man ages, the prostate gland has a […]
“Do nothing and remain a shell of the man you could be!” That’s ad copy used for a popular brand of male virility product called Nugenix on their website. Nugenix is one of a number of products that try to address low testosterone levels in men; it contains fenugreek, among other substances. Fenugreek has many […]
Medium-chain triglycerides are hot today. Derived from coconut oil or palm oil, they have the advantage of being used for energy without much processing by the liver. People doing the ketogenic diet use them, as well as athletes looking for more energy. From a medical perspective, MCTs are used for people with fat-absorption problems and […]
For this week’s Memos, I’m reviewing products I get asked about frequently, all products that seem to have a large online or television presence.

Imagine that you woke up this morning with lower back pain; that’s not unusual for many people. You make it to your bathroom, pull out your nicely painted apothecary jar of human fat, and rub some into the painful areas. Or you have arthritis and you rub the human fat into your knees. No way, […]
When the title of any article is written in Latin, you might think that what follows is probably complicated. How about if you knew that Axungia hominis simply means “human fat”? What follows isn’t complicated but it sure is surprising—at least it was to me. I read an excerpt from a forthcoming book I’m adding […]
As you might expect, I get asked a lot of questions about health, especially diet and exercise. One of the similarities between questions is whether a specific nutrient is special or unique. When I do the research to learn about the nutrient, I’ve never found one that’s the be-all and end-all—not turmeric or echinacea or […]
This week is planting week around the house, so Paula and I will be working around the yard each day. What we won’t do is go to the gym to work out. In thinking about it, that raises the issue of the myth of physical activity: does yardwork count or do you have to get […]
