Falling asleep after dinner? Is your work performance worsening? Enjoying life a little less? Unable to play sports like you used to? Feeling grumpy? Getting weaker and not stronger? Feeling less energetic? Erections failing and sex drive tanking? What hard working adult doesn’t have these symptoms at one time or another? Testing Testosterone This is […]
I heard it said that the average 18-year-old male thinks about sex every 3 minutes during waking hours. It’s no wonder they’re so wildly inefficient human beings at this age. Of course, as we age and get careers, pay rent and have kids, we tend to get less frisky. Blame locker room talk, Hollywood, or […]
When do we hit our peak? Well, that depends on how you define peak. Peak muscular strength in men occurs around age 26. In terms of smarts, Nobel Prize winners make their big discoveries at an average age of 40. But do erections also have a peak? Climb Every Mountain The hard data comes from the […]
This Case of the Year is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic. A 13th century Franciscan friar named William of Occam proposed a way of thinking that is popular even today. Occam’s Razor states that simpler solutions are more likely to be correct than complex ones. Alternatively viewed, if one theory explains all observations, then […]
She tells you that “it’s that time of the month,” and in this case it means it’s baby-making time.

There are certain questions in life that have never been answerable until now. For example, given that many human diseases are treatable, how long can we actually live? It took the jet age for us to figure out just how much g-force the human body can handle. And it’s only been a hundred years or […]
It’s well known that women athletes can stop having regular periods if they exercise too much. Termed “exercise-induced amenorrhea,” this prevents pregnancy during times of extreme physiological stress. Think of it as Darwin would: Why would you want to bear children as a cavewoman running for your life? Survival Comes First The mechanism for this […]
We’ve known for a while now that, pound for pound, as a group, infertile men aren’t as healthy as fertile men. It started with research showing that infertile men have higher rates of cancer after infertility than fertile men. Then, it became clear that infertile men harbor more disease than fertile men. The latest data suggests […]
This Case of the Year is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic We can learn so much from those we meet. My patients teach me more about life and medicine than any book ever could. I think it was Bill Nye who said: “Everyone that you will ever meet knows something you don’t.” Up […]
