Hypnotherapy For Men: It’s Simply Logical
I discovered hypnotherapy a few years ago when I was dealing with the loss of both my parents within a three-month time span. I had tried the traditional therapy route and felt exhausted sharing my feelings over and over again, but still felt stuck. My Hypnotherapist, Rene Brent, RN CCHT said that this modality was...Continue reading
Can Nature and Nurture Work Together?
I’m sorry, but after delivering hundreds of lectures worldwide over the past two decades, this invitation is different. It’s from the Feds, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to be exact. They want me to speak at a think tank in Washington about the future of men’s health. It’s a great honor, but a very intimidating...Continue reading

There are countless (non scientific and unfounded) articles portraying the great benefit to society of increased marijuana availability, as well as its purported harmlessness. I am personally very concerned over the panacea that has taken hold, ignorant...Continue reading

However, men of any age can get the disease. If a man is diagnosed with breast cancer early, the...Continue reading
When is Running Not Just Running?
I got to know a guy named Laird Malamed recently. He’s a regular working stiff, just like the rest of us, and it just so happens that he loves to run. Not every day, but very far, in fact marathon distances and beyond. In his words, it’s a “crazy mid-life crisis running addiction.” His goal? “The...Continue reading
