Women Want Strong Men

On today’s podcast Dr. Matthew Bradley, MD details his journey from amputee to orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Bradley was hit by a drunk driver at 10 years old and lost his right leg. Instead of becoming a victim he persevered and became an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Bradley graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Biochemistry.  He completed medical school at Indiana University School of Medicine in 2004. After medical school, Dr. Bradley completed his residency at Oregon Health and Science University and is board-certified by The American Board of Orthopedic Surgery.  Dr. Bradley is also an avid golfer and being an amputee only fueled his passion for success.  We also discuss how medicine is evolving with the use of robotics in surgery, peptides and stem cells.  Dr. Bradley currently uses the Mako Smart Robotic made by Stryker and sees advantages in having a more predictable surgical experience.  We also discuss the risk vs benefit of cortisone injections and when peptides, stem cells, prp and amniotic fluid come into play for the patient.   Dr. Bradley, MD currently practices in St. Louis, MO.  Links supporting discussion: Dr. Bradley's Website Intra-Articular Injection of BPC 157 for Multiple Types of Knee Pain Comparison of the short-term results of single-dose intra-articular peptide with hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma injections in knee osteoarthritis: a randomized study Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials MAKO CT-based robotic arm-assisted system is a reliable procedure for total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review The MAKO robotic-arm knee arthroplasty system Mako Stryker Website The promoting effect of pentadecapeptide BPC 157 on tendon healing involves tendon outgrowth, cell survival, and cell migration Gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 accelerates healing of transected rat Achilles tendon and in vitro stimulates tendocytes growth Impact of pentadecapeptide BPC 157 on muscle healing impaired by systemic corticosteroid application Learn more about Dr. Matthew Bradley, MD Check out Victory Men’s Health and connect on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and Instagram.

There is no relationship between a man's testosterone level and his risk of developing prostate cancer. Studies have shown that testosterone therapy doesn't increase the risk of prostate cancer or make it more severe in men who have already been diagnosed. Today’s guest Dr. David Yablonsky and I discuss why the medical establishment has had a false assumption that testosterone replacement therapy increases a man’s risk of prostate cancer. We also deep dive not only in to his clinical experience but also his personal experience with prostate cancer.

Testosterone…men need it! Testosterone is the key male sex hormone that regulates fertility, muscle mass, fat distribution, and red blood cell production.   When levels of testosterone drop below levels that are healthy, they can lead to conditions like insulin resistance, inflammation, metabolic syndrome, and vascular risk. It contributes to muscle loss, bone loss, and anemia. Symptoms may also include depressed mood, reduced motivation, fatigue, and loss of libido. A substantial body of evidence indicates that coronary artery disease incidence and severity are inversely correlated with testosterone levels. I sat down with Anna Griffith to discuss a course of action to alleviate low testosterone causes through specific lifestyle changes.  In this episode we discuss 5 major testosterone disruptors that she commonly sees in her male patients. We dive into hair loss medications, sleep, plastic, oral testosterone boosters and micronutrients. Anna Griffith, DNP of Victory Men’s Health is an ANCC Board Certified Nurse Practitioner. She completed her Doctorate in Nursing from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Anna continues her education through a broad array of anti-aging societies such as A4M, AMMG, and Seeds scientific research and performance.
