Book SynopsisWhat contemporary prostate angst tells us about how we understand masculinity, aging, and sexuality.We are all suffering an acute case of prostate angst. Men worry about their own prostates and those of others close to them; women worry about the prostates of the men they love. The prostate--a gland located directly under the bladder--lurks on the periphery of many men's health issues, but as an object of anxiety it goes beyond the medical, affecting how we understand masculinity, aging, and sexuality. In A Cultural Biography of the Prostate, Ericka Johnson investigates what we think the prostate is and what we use the prostate to think about, examining it in historical, cultural, social, and medical contexts. Johnson shows that our ways of talking about, writing about, imagining, and imaging the prostate are a mess of entangled relationships. She describes current biomedical approaches, reports on the discovery of the prostate in the sixteenth century an

Book SynopsisTrade Review“Healing the Prostate is every man’s must-read. It’s also a riveting book for women concerned about the health ofthe men in their lives too. Many men eventually need their prostate radiated, medicated, or operated on for various conditions, many of which could have been partially prevented. As an added perk, the science-based self-help tools in this healthy prostate plan will help keep many other organs healthy. I highly recommend this book!”— William Sears, M.D., author of The Healthy Brain Book“This is an easy-to-read, informative book covering the most recent research and treatments for the prostate and male genitourinary health. Dr. Stengler shares his clinical experience and case histories, and outlines practical diet and lifestyle recommendations, making the book relevant and useful for both the clinician and layperson. It is refreshing to see the inclusion of new perspectives for male health and a chapter dedicated to the bladder as a primary cause of male LUTS.”— Tracey Seipel, N.D., founder of Seipel Group, a nutraceutical company that pioneered the natural urological health category“Dr. Stengler has provided critical information that all men and their doctors need to know, especially men who are dealing with prostate or bladder disorders. The book is extremely well referenced, is easy to read, and gives valuable information about both conventional and integrative approaches to these very common problems.”— Frank Shallenberger, M.D., founder of The Nevada Center of Alternative and Anti-Aging Medicine“I am a big fan of Dr. Mark Stengler because he produces results. His program for the prostate is 100% on target. Every man needs to read this book and follow his expert guidance to optimal health.”— Michael T. Murray, N.D., author of The Longevity Matrix“All men should become knowledgeable about prostate health because virtually all men will experience prostate health problems at some time in their lives. Unfortunately, many urologists recommend only traditional medical treatments for prostate health issues. Dr. Mark Stengler’s book Healing the Prostate provides men with a comprehensive overview of both conventional and holistic therapies for all issues related to prostate health. From erectile dysfunction and testosterone to BPH and prostate cancer therapies, Healing the Prostate is an educational book that I am happy to recommend to all men.”— Ross Pelton, RPh, CCN, The Natural Pharmacist“The numbers don’t lie: 50 percent of all men will require treatment for symptoms of prostate enlargement, and 10 percent of men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetimes. Dr. Stengler has brought a commonsense approach to prostate health in his new book, Healing the Prostate. Most of us would want to make meaningful changes in our daily routine if we thought it would decrease our risk of developing disease. Dr. Stengler gives a very concise and easily readable ‘blueprint’ on how to make those changes.”— Carl Walker, M.D., board-certified urologist

Book SynopsisAs a man ages, a slow decline takes root that, day to day, is imperceptible. Sometime around age 30, levels of the male hormone testosterone begin to drop each year. One morning he looks in the mirror and sees someone who he doesn't recognize. He's tired-looking, lacks motivation, his belly is sagging over his belt, his mind is foggy and maybe even his sex drive has evaporated. What happened? "Oh, you're just getting older," people tell him - even his doctor!Endocrinologist Florence Comite, MD, doesn't believe we should accept aging as is. She believes any man can restore his body, mind, and energy; prevent disease; and feel strong, confident, and in control once again. Keep It Up will show you how to quantify your own health and then make key changes that will reduce your belly fat and risk of diabetes, revitalize your sex drive and strengthen your erections, and give you more muscle and greater mental agility. Because testosterone affects all of the above aspects of a man's vitality, Dr. Comite shows readers how the cutting edge science of hormone optimization is an effective way to prevent the disorders of aging. "Testosterone optimization can absolutely change a man's life," Dr. Comite says. It can reduce fat, build lean muscle and reverse disease but the most important benefit, she says, "is the feeling of being 'recharged'-feeling more focused, more vigorous, more masculine, more alive."Key chapters in Keep It Up include: - The Metabolic Tests- The Hormone Tests- The Sleep and Stress Connection- Great Sex, Your Second Act- Building a High-Performance Body- The Truth about Hormone Therapies- Advanced Diagnostics- The Future of Medicine, Today
