How do you help a 2700 lb Walrus conceive? Very carefully. In fact, only a handful of walruses have conceived in captivity over the last century. In the U.S., it is 10 to be exact. But Holley Muraco, a zoologist at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, has changed all that. Now a Published Recipe […]
Maybe it’s time to rename the “laptop” computer something else and keep if off our laps (how about mobile computers or “mobees”?). First we hear that they generate heat that elevates scrotal temperature, and now the Wi-Fi radiation itself may be a problem. The Effect of Wi-Fi on Sperm The Wi-Fi issue was published last […]
It was no surprise to me to read a recent study that showed that when Stanford men’s basketball players got more than 10 hours of sleep nightly, their on-court performance improved dramatically.

As a surfer, I remember charging pretty big walls of cold, wintery Northern California water with the goal of getting a fast, albeit short, adrenaline-stoked ride. Years ago on Thanksgiving, I was pummeled by a big swell to the point that I wondered whether I would make it out of the water alive. But once […]

“I’ve been told that my cancer is now cured… how do I get my fertility back? Patients ask me this question weekly all the time and I am glad to help. Some of the most satisfying medical moments I’ve had are associated with these patients. But when I hear this call for help, it also […]
Honestly, it seems like I am the first one to say that testosterone is important for a healthy, long life. Clearly, men with low levels, termed hypogonadism, do not live as long as men with normal testosterone levels. I understand too, what testosterone isn’t and can’t do. So, I am entirely empathetic to patients who […]
Some day, you may want kids…or you may not. It’s not on the top of your mind now as it’s still early in the relationship and you are in that wonderful phase of discovery with your partner. If this is your station then read on because, in the words of Ben Franklin, “an ounce of […]
