This isn’t aging. This isn’t your fault. And it’s definitely not solved by eating less and working out more.

👉 Perimenopause flips your metabolism upside down - because of hormones.

Here’s what most doctors never tell you:
• Progesterone drops → sleep worsens → cortisol rises.
• Estrogen becomes erratic → insulin signaling breaks down.
• Testosterone declines → muscle loses its ability to burn sugar.

That’s a perfect storm for insulin resistance and belly fat and it starts years before your period stops.

You don’t need to panic.
You need to understand your hormones.

This is metabolic dysfunction, not a willpower issue.

Testosterone is NOT just a “man hormone.”
It’s a critical metabolic regulator and when it’s low, your body pays the price.

📉 Low testosterone → insulin resistance
🍞 Insulin resistance → high triglycerides, belly fat, and fatigue
🔥 Belly fat → converts testosterone into estrogen, worsening the cycle

➡️ This affects men AND women.
➡️ It’s not just about libido - it’s about energy, glucose control, inflammation, and long-term cardiovascular risk.

Your metabolism isn’t broken because of willpower.
It’s broken because your hormones are out of sync.

👨‍⚕️ In both men and women, testosterone supports:
• Insulin sensitivity
• Lean muscle mass
• Stable energy
• Cardiometabolic health

Stop blaming calories. Start checking your labs.
If you’re tracking waist size, glucose, and triglycerides - testosterone should be part of the conversation.

Triglycerides aren’t cholesterol - they’re the clearest signal your metabolism is in trouble.

They link diet, insulin resistance, low testosterone, fatty liver, and cardiovascular disease in one vicious hormonal-metabolic cycle.

🧬 Triglycerides are fat made from excess sugar.
When your body can’t store more glucose, your liver converts it into triglycerides and floods your bloodstream, even if your cholesterol looks “normal.”

🚨 High triglycerides = high insulin resistance = low testosterone, belly fat, fatty liver, and elevated cardiovascular risk.

Here’s what most doctors miss:
🔹 Triglycerides spike from refined carbs, not fat
🔹 They rise when you sleep poorly, overtrain, or crash diet
🔹 They suppress testosterone - and low testosterone raises them back in return
🔹 They’re reversible with the right strategy: cut sugar, restore insulin sensitivity, optimize hormones.

If you’re serious about metabolic health, this is the lab value to watch.

Still blaming your belly fat on food? It’s time to blame your hormones.

That stubborn midsection weight, especially after the holidays, isn’t about discipline.
It’s about cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone.

🧠 Chronic stress = chronically high cortisol
⬆️ Cortisol = more belly fat (because abdominal fat has more cortisol receptors than anywhere else)

Crash diets, overtraining, and poor sleep only make things worse.

Here’s how to lower cortisol and finally start releasing fat:

✅ Walk daily, especially after dinner
✅ Prioritize 30–40g of protein per meal
✅ Lift heavy 2–3x/week
✅ Protect your sleep like your life depends on it — because it does

🧬 Your body doesn’t respond to punishment.
It responds to safety.

Balance your hormones. Reset your metabolism.
Lose fat the sustainable, evidence-based way.

No pills. No gimmicks. Just science.

Hi, I’m Dr. Clifford Gluck.
For years, I’ve helped men recover natural, spontaneous erectile function - even after prostate surgery, diabetes, or age-related decline.

At my practice, we use The Trifecta Program: a 3-part, drug-free approach that restores performance and confidence:
1. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Your body’s own healing cells, injected to repair blood vessels and grow new ones where it counts.
2. Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy: Acoustic pulses that break micro-plaque and stimulate long-term blood flow.
3. Emsella Chair: Focused magnetic energy that activates and strengthens pelvic floor muscles—supporting rigidity and control.

✅ 80%+ success rate
✅ No medications
✅ No downtime
✅ Results that last

If you’re struggling, you’re not alone and you don’t have to settle.

This is real sexual medicine. And it works.

If statins lower LDL… why are heart attacks still happening?

Because LDL is only part of the story.
Cardiovascular disease isn’t just about liver enzymes. It’s about particle number, metabolic health, and hormonal balance - especially estradiol.

Estradiol does what statins can’t:
✔️ Increases LDL receptor activity
✔️ Improves insulin sensitivity
✔️ Reduces inflammation and plaque formation
✔️ Enhances nitric oxide signaling in arteries

In women and in men (via aromatization from testosterone), estradiol plays a critical role in lipid metabolism and vascular health.

👉 Blocking estradiol? Increases insulin resistance, ApoB, and CV risk.
👉 Measuring only LDL? You’re missing ApoB and Lp(a) - silent but deadly.

⚠️ Heart disease prevention requires more than chasing LDL on a lab panel.

It’s time to go deeper:
• Measure ApoB and Lp(a)
• Optimize hormones
• Treat the root causes of vascular dysfunction

📍True prevention = metabolism + hormones + arterial biology

Not just a pill for your liver.

12/19/2025

“My cholesterol is normal… so I’m safe, right?”
Not necessarily.

✅ If you’ve got a family history of early heart attack or stroke…
✅ If you’ve been told your LDL is fine, but something still feels off…
Then it’s time to look deeper.

In my practice, we measure Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and Lipoprotein(a) because they reveal what standard cholesterol tests can’t:

🚛 ApoB tells us how many cholesterol-carrying particles are on the road not just how much cholesterol is in each truck. More trucks = more arterial damage.

🔥 Lipoprotein(a) is a genetically inherited, inflammatory particle that raises your risk of plaque, clots, and heart disease even if your lifestyle is pristine.

And here’s the kicker:
📉 You can have perfect LDL levels… and still have elevated ApoB or Lp(a) putting you at risk for a heart attack.

This is precision prevention not guesswork.

💡 If you want to know your true cardiovascular risk, ask your doctor:
“Have you ever checked my ApoB and Lp(a)?”

Because early detection means smarter prevention and a longer, healthier life.

“We’ll just watch it.”
That’s what most men hear when they’re told to start Active Surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer.

But what does the long-term data actually show?

📊 Scandinavian studies revealed:

• ~66% of men progressed within 5 years
• ~25% of those who delayed treatment already had metastatic disease

Why?
Because standard biopsies don’t map the prostate - they sample it. That means aggressive cancer can hide…until it spreads.

But today, you’re no longer stuck choosing between:

⚖️ Do nothing
or
🩸 Surgery, radiation, and side effects like ED or incontinence

✅ HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) offers precise, non-invasive ablation:
• 1–2% urinary incontinence
• 10–20% erectile dysfunction
• No incision. No radiation. No hospital stay.

You treat before cancer escapes the prostate and preserve quality of life.

If you’ve been told to “just watch it”…
👉 Ask a better question: Am I truly safe, or am I rolling the dice?

12/15/2025

“Just watch it” isn’t always good advice.

Active Surveillance was designed to avoid the side effects of prostate cancer treatment like ED, incontinence, and bowel issues.

But here’s what your doctor might not be telling you:

🔹 Most men on surveillance eventually need treatment anyway
🔹 Delayed treatment often finds more aggressive cancer than expected
🔹 Many cancers classified as “low risk” are already more serious

For healthy men, doing nothing can be dangerous.

The good news?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) offers a precise, non-invasive treatment option that preserves sexual and urinary function in most men.

❗️If you’ve been told to “just watch it,” ask a better question:
Am I actually safe… or do I have better options?

⚡️ Tired, foggy, aging fast?
You might be low on NAD⁺ - the molecule behind cellular energy, DNA repair, and mitochondrial health.

Here’s the truth:
Not all NAD⁺ supplements actually work.

💊 Oral NAD⁺? Mostly broken down in the stomach.
✅ What works?
• NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) – best for insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and energy
• NR (nicotinamide riboside) – excellent for brain and mitochondrial function

IV NAD⁺ is helpful for rapid results…
But daily oral NMN or NR is backed by research and far more practical for most people.

🧠 Want better metabolism, energy, repair, and healthy aging?
Build your NAD⁺ the right way.

🚨 PCOS Is NOT Just an Ovarian Problem.

That’s the biggest myth in women’s health.
Here’s what’s really going on and why testosterone might actually help.

Polycystic O***y Syndrome is a metabolic disorder of insulin resistance that shows up in the ovaries not one that starts there.

When we target the root cause - insulin, not just hormones - everything changes:
✨ Clearer skin
✨ Improved cycles
✨ Balanced mood
✨ Easier weight loss
✨ Restored fertility

I’m Dr. Clifford Gluck board-certified urologist with 30+ years of experience in sexual wellness, hormone therapy, and evidence-based medicine.

Fatigue, brain fog, muscle aches especially after 40 or on statins?

You might be running low on something your cells can’t function without: CoQ10.

🧬 Coenzyme Q10 lives inside your mitochondria and powers every organ in your body especially the heart, brain, and muscles. But after age 40 (or if you’re on statins), your CoQ10 levels drop sharply and standard supplements may not be enough.

🔍 Here’s what most people don’t know:
Most CoQ10 supplements contain Ubiquinone, the inactive form. But what your body actually uses is Ubiquinol the active, antioxidant form that’s up to 3x more bioavailable in clinical studies.

👉 Ubiquinol supports:
✔️ Cardiac output and blood vessel health
✔️ Energy production and mitochondrial repair
✔️ Cognitive clarity and muscle recovery
✔️ Egg and s***m quality for fertility
✔️ Longevity and healthy aging

If you’re on a statin, your body’s ability to produce CoQ10 is blocked making supplementation essential.

💊 Dr. Gluck typically recommends 100–300 mg/day of ubiquinol, especially for those on statins or experiencing fatigue, inflammation, or age-related decline.

This isn’t hype. It’s foundational biochemistry. And it could change how you feel from the inside out.
