Contact UshCG and Pregnancy
hCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone closely associated with fertility and pregnancy — in fact, hCG and pregnancy have long been associated, so much so that the first home pregnancy tests, developed in the 1960s, were developed to test for hCG levels. Though levels of hCG in pregnancy can vary significantly from person to […]
hCG and Male Fertility
Let’s talk about hCG and male fertility. As a treatment for low sperm count, hCG is surprisingly effective in a wide variety of situations.

Sugar and Hormones — The Connection Between Sugar and Hormonal Imbalance in Men
Let’s talk about sugar and hormones — specifically testosterone.

Zinc and Hormones — Testosterone, Estrogen, and the Critical Role of Zinc
Let’s talk about zinc and hormones.

Low Estrogen — Weight Gain After Menopause
Low estrogen and weight gain are definitely associated with each other (for women, anyway). (By the way, if you want to learn more about the symptoms of low estrogen in men, read our article here.) For most women who have normal estrogen levels throughout life, this doesn’t really become an area of concern until menopause […]
Hair Loss Myths — 3 Stupid Male Hair Loss Myths You Should Completely Ignore
Though I’ve written about hair loss myths for men before, especially myths surrounding testosterone replacement therapy, I want to approach it from a different angle and discuss a variety of hair loss myths, not just those related to testosterone. However, since the myth about hair loss and testosterone is so persistent, I’m going to discuss […]
Fertility Shots for Men and Women — Just the Basics
Fertility shots or injections, for both men and women, can be a subject fraught with misinformation, fear, and anxiety.

Hormone Problems — How to Talk to Your Significant Other About Getting Help
Hormone problems can be bad enough when you’re the one suffering from them—but when you’re watching a family member suffer, when you suspect that their hormones might be the culprit behind their strange, hurtful, or concerning behavior, it can be emotionally and mentally draining.
