MTHFR in Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Athletic Performance
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a gene involved in folate metabolism and methylation, a set of reactions that support DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, neurotransmitter balance, and amino acid metabolism.
Type 2 Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes, and it is rarely "just a plumbing problem." Diabetes impacts erections through reduced nitric oxide signaling and endothelial function, accelerated atherosclerosis, and diabetic neuropathy, often years before someone develops obvious cardiovascular symptoms.
Labs to Check for Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is only as good as the monitoring behind it. Symptoms matter, but labs are what let us confirm dose adequacy, reduce side effects, and identify cardiometabolic risk factors that often coexist with low testosterone.
TRT Delivery Options: Intramuscular Injections, Subcutaneous Injections, Pellets and Topical Creams
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can work very well, but the delivery method matters more than most people expect. The same dose can feel very different depending on how steadily it is absorbed, how high the peaks run after dosing, how low levels fall before the next dose, and how consistent day to day exposure is.
Different Types of Testosterone: Cypionate, Enanthate and Undecanoate
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is not a one size fits all treatment. Even when two products deliver the same hormone, the ester attached to testosterone changes how quickly it is released from the injection site, how smooth levels feel between doses, and how often you need to dose.
Saunas and Your Health: How Heat Therapy Supports Heart, Brain, and Recovery
A sauna is a small heated room, usually kept between 150 and 195°F, where you sit and let your body warm up. In a dry Finnish sauna, the air is hot and low in humidity. Your skin temperature rises, blood vessels open, and you begin to sweat.

Periodization: How to Plan Training for Peak Results
Periodization is a way to organize training across months and weeks so that volume, intensity, and skill work change in a planned sequence. The goal is steady gains, lower injury risk, and a timed peak for competition or performance testing. In research, periodized programs consistently beat non-periodized programs for strength gains across ages and training backgrounds.
Stretching for Strength, Mobility, and Recovery
Stretching plays a critical role in improving flexibility, reducing the risk of injury, and supporting recovery after intense training or activity. By enhancing your joint range of motion and movement efficiency, stretching helps your body perform better and feel better. When done consistently, stretching supports healthy posture, balanced muscle tone, and long-term joint health.
Strength Training: A Comprehensive Guide to Using Science to Build Muscles
This guide, which is based on extensive peer-reviewed scientific studies, is designed to provide a detailed description of the science and practical applications of strength training and muscle hypertrophy. It is designed to be a master class in everything related to strength training, from the biology to the practical aspects. There are a lot of myths and pseudoscience in the field of strength training, and our goal is to provide our patients and the public with a comprehensive guide to understanding the science of strength and endurance training, and how to incorporate this into your workout routine.
