Semaglutide – What is it?
In simple terms, Semaglutide, Wegovy or Ozempic improve insulin resistance. This allows calories and fat to be burned, while improving energy. Semaglutide is peptide that works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which targets an area of the brain that regulates appetite and food intake. By controlling blood sugar spikes and lowering blood sugar, as well as reducing appetite and cravings energy levels are more consistent. Semaglutide is administered by a subcutaneous injection, commonly dosed once weekly. Dosing may be increased after one month if needed.

Sexual Health for Men
52% of men experience some form of Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
ED is defined as the inability to Obtain OR Maintain an erection. It is also common for a male to be able to obtain an erection, but not be satisfied with the hardness of the erection
You are more likely to develop some form of ED if you:
· Are Older
· Have certain diseases or conditions (High Blood Pressure, Diabetes)
· Take certain medications (Blood Pressure, Anti-Depressants)
or Have certain psychological or emotional behaviors, such as:
· being overweight
· or smoke
ED can lead to an unfilled sex life, a loss of intimacy between partners, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem
Diagnosis consists of trying to find the underlying cause (Low Testosterone, Stress, untreated high blood pressure, Diabetes, etc.)
Treatments offered: Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), Vardenafil (Levitra), Avanafil (Stendra)
All four medications enhance the effects of nitric oxide — a natural chemical your body produces that relaxes muscles in the penis. This increases blood flow and allows you to get an erection in response to sexual stimulation.
Taking one of these tablets will not automatically produce an erection. Sexual stimulation is needed first. Oral erectile dysfunction medications are not aphrodisiacs, will not cause excitement and are not needed in people who get normal erections.
The medications vary in dosage, how long they work and side effects. Possible side effects include flushing, nasal congestion, headache, visual changes, backache and stomach upset.
