		<description><![CDATA[Rebecca Shatsky, MD 2011-Since the advent of Viagra, the field of Men’s Health seems to have grown by leaps and bounds. Topics that were once taboo like erectile dysfunction and low libido are now being addressed and treated more effectively than ever before. However, while the field has seen its successes recently, there are still a number of questions that are just beginning to receive the attention they deserve as valid medical issues. One of the most hotly debated topics currently is testosterone deficiency and replacement. Historically, testosterone was used in high doses as an anabolic steroid by athletes and body builders, a practice that was banned in 1990 due to various sports industry scandals. Recently, however, questions have arisen as to whether low doses of testosterone might be helpful for middle aged and elderly men whose testosterone levels have begun to decline due to aging or chronic disease. There are already million dollar ad campaigns plastered all over popular magazines encouraging men to ask their doctors about “low T.”  It’s clear that drug companies are hoping testosterone replacement will be the next big blockbuster moneymaker, but is it the right treatment for those with low testosterone?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Rebecca Shatsky, MD 2011 - We hear it all too often, “No, the weight gain wasn’t my fault.  My doctor told me I have a gland problem!”  Seems like a reasonable explanation right?  Mass media around the globe continues to remind you that hormones are involved in weight loss and that glands make hormones so…who cares if I haven’t hit the gym in six months and the pizza place knows me by name.  It has to be my glands that caused me to gain a few pounds last winter, right?  While “glandular problem” is not the technical term, colloquially when someone says they have a glandular problem they are most commonly referring to an underactive thyroid.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kelly Erickson, MD 2010 - When you consider vacation, especially one that takes you multiple time zones away from home, one of the major drawbacks is coping with the even harsher reality of “jet lag”.  Whether it requires you to sleep when you arrive at your destination rather than enjoying immediate exploration or demands that you take yet another day off from work once you return home, jet lag is undeniably inconvenient.  Here we will explain the causes of jet lag and how to best prevent it from hindering your well-deserved adventures.]]></description>
