Pillars of Health for Men

Testosterone loss in men may lead to:

  • Low energy and fatigue, “running on empty”
  • Decreased drive and motivation
  • Stubborn weight gain, belly fat, food cravings
  • Decline in general sense of well-being, feeling burned out
  • Insomnia
  • Brain fog, lack of focus, memory loss
  • Aches, joint pain, longer recovery time from injuries
  • Loss of libido, inability to achieve or maintain an erection
  • Frequent illnesses
  • Hair loss
  • Saggy, dry, aging skin

Testosterone Replacement (TRT) Options

  • Pellets– Evexias has a superior pellet to others on the market, reducing down time, no stitches, no infections, no pellet extrusions.For men, pellets typically last 4-6 months, average 5 months.
  • Injections– Once to twice weekly injections of Testosterone are quite popular and effective
  • Creams and gels– Less effective generally than pellets or injections, but helpful for many men who might not need a huge boost
  • HCG (Pregnyl) injections– This is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the production of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which in turn signals the testes to produce Testosterone.There is no loss of fertility with this option, making it attractive to younger men who may not have achieved their full family size yet.
  • Clomid and Enclomiphene– These act as Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs). They bind to estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, blocking the brain from sensing circulating estrogen (which is the breakdown product of Testosterone).This perceived hormone deficiency stimulates the hypothalamus and pituitary to secrete FSH and LH. The surge of LH stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce more of the hormone naturally. This is a great option if male infertility is an issue, or in younger men. Particularly the Enclomiphene compound often produces doubling to quadrupling of Testosterone levels with a single pill taken at night.

Musculoskeletal Maintenance and Repair

Health relies on regular exercise and movement. Old injuries, the wear and tear of aging, prior surgical areas that might not feel 100% often respond beautifully to one or some combination of the following types of injection therapies:

  • Prolozone– simple non-drug joint or soft tissue injection consisting of a short acting local anesthetic like Procaine or Lidocaine followed by medical oxygen/ozone gas.This procedure decreases inflammation and initiates the body’s repair processes. Results are often rapid.
  • Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) – This procedure is identical to Prolozone but with the addition of platelets harvested using a special technique from the patient’s blood sample.This injection has farther-reaching healing and regeneration properties than Prolozone alone.It takes weeks to months to see the results. It also lasts longer than Prolozone.
  • Exosomes– These tiny “packets” of regenerative and growth signaling molecules are harvested from placental stem cells using a sophisticated culture technique.Essentially, this is quite similar to stem cell injections, but at about a tenth of the price. Results usually kick in within a few days and last 3-6 months or longer.
  • Other boosters such as BPC-157 and NAD.We offer these as injections, infusions.

Cardiovascular Health

Cardiovascular disease remains the #1 cause of death in the United States today, yet it is preventable with attention to exercise, diet and lifestyle factors. 50% of people don’t know they have heart disease until their first heart attack. Of those 50%, 30-50% don’t survive that first heart attack.

Preventive Assessment & Treatment

  • Lab testing – Using Boston Heart and other leading comprehensive labs that measure metabolic, inflammatory and other markers, we can extensively map cardiovascular risk and take an individualized preventive approach using exercise, diet, lifestyle, nutritional, herbal or pharmaceutical treatment.
  • Advanced imaging and workup– We believe everyone over 50, perhaps over 40 should have the following to measure cardiovascular health:
  • EKG – to measure the electrical health of the heart
  • CIMT (Carotid Intimal Media Thickness) – a scan of the carotid arteries to measure any blockage by plaque
  • ECHO (Echocardiogram) – an advanced ultrasound of the heart that can measure each chamber of the heart, the amount of blood pumping through each chamber, the structure and health of the valves to evaluate the overall health of the heart muscle itself

Advanced Early Cancer Detection Screening

Cancer is the #2 killer in the United States today despite the widespread use of colonoscopies, skin checks, mammograms, and PAP smears.  Onco-D-Clare is a much more sophisticated screening test than those offered in the medical mainstream.  This test that doesn’t screen by looking for cancer cells (circulating tumor cells), but by mapping the white blood cell (WBC) profile.  

RGCC Cancer Screening test
Onco-D-clare

  • Onco-D-clare is a cancer screening test based on the interaction of molecular biology with machine learning algorithms. This screening test can help detect cancer before symptoms appear. 
  • White blood cells are isolated from blood samples, and gene expression analysis is performed on more than 90 genes. Their expression profile is then used for the classification of the sample as cancerous or healthy. 
  • The Onco-D-clare test provides individuals with essential information to help them make better-informed decisions about future health and well-being. 
  • The test is clinically validated and highly accurate, able to screen for all cancers except for primary brain cancer (≈92%). 

RGCC Cancer Baseline and Follow-Up Tests
Oncotrace

  • Used as a BASELINE and FOLLOW-UP tool to determine starting point, and monitoring effectiveness of treatment protocols 
  • May also be used for long-term monitoring following successful treatment for early detection of recurrence 
  • Detects presence of ALL cancer types (except those of brain or spinal cord origin) 
  • Detects the presences and number of CTCs (circulating tumor cells) in the blood 
  • Determines the tissue origin or the tumor
  • Detects stemness markers to monitor activity level of the CTCs to determine how aggressive the cancer is to proliferate, metastasize, resist treatment, or recur and to determine when care is done 
  • Sample is from blood
