Oxytocin is widely known for its role in bonding and affection, but in men it does far more than that. This powerful neuropeptide influences sexual function, pelvic tone, stress regulation, and even emotional resilience.

🧠 Key Functions of Oxytocin:
- Enhances sexual arousal, ej*******on, and erectile function
- Facilitates pelvic floor relaxation and a**l sphincter control
- Modulates stress and anxiety via the HPA axis
- Promotes trust, connection, and emotional regulation
- Supports cardiovascular and metabolic health

At the Performance Medicine Institute, we may use intranasal or oral formulations of oxytocin for:
- ED or performance anxiety
- Pain with in*******se
- Pelvic floor tension
- Relationship intimacy support
- Adjunctive therapy for trauma recovery, PTSD, or high cortisol states

To learn whether oxytocin therapy is right for you, give us a call or send us a text at 602-606-8949.

🧪 Precision Performance Starts Here 🏃‍♀️

At the Performance Medicine Institute, we take a scientific approach to fitness and rehabilitation. This image captures one of our lactate threshold testing sessions, which can be an important part of a comprehensive performance assessment.

Lactate threshold is where your body begins to accumulate lactic acid faster than it can clear it. Knowing this threshold helps us:
✅ Personalize your training zones
✅ Improve endurance and recovery
✅ Monitor metabolic adaptations over time
✅ Guide return-to-play protocols

By combining exercise physiology with real-time biomarker a**lysis, we’re able to tailor your rehab or training program down to the cellular level. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic disease, or optimizing elite performance, we use data, not guesswork, to guide your progress.

Non-invasive pelvic floor strengthening with PEMF

At the Performance Medicine Institute, we use advanced, non-invasive technology like PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) to target and stimulate the pelvic floor muscles—no probes, no needles, no downtime. In addition to strengthening the pelvic floor, we are able to target nerves to reduce pain and dysfunction.

This approach is ideal for men dealing with:
✅ Pelvic pain
✅ Erectile dysfunction
✅ Urinary leakage or urgency
✅ Post-prostatectomy recovery
✅ Core and pelvic muscle deconditioning

Our pelvic health program is built around science-backed protocols that restore function and confidence.

Your recovery doesn’t need to be invasive. We’re changing the conversation around men’s pelvic health.

🧬 What Is Myo-Inositol?

Myo-inositol is a glucose isomer that functions as a vital messenger molecule inside of cells. It’s found in high concentrations in the brain, muscle, ovaries, and testes—and plays a central role in:

✔ Insulin signaling: Myo-inositol is essential for transmitting insulin’s signal into the cell. It helps activate the insulin receptor and downstream pathways that move glucose into cells.

✔ Hormonal regulation: Myo-inositol regulates the function of gonadotropins like FSH and LH, which control testosterone, estrogen, and s***m or egg production. It’s also critical in the formation of other molecules essential for cellular function.

✔ Mitochondrial health: As a core component of cell membranes, myo-inositol supports mitochondrial integrity and energy production—critical for both metabolic and reproductive health.

✔ Neurotransmitter function: Myo-inositol influences serotonin, dopamine, and GABA activity, which makes it a useful adjunct for managing anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.

💊 While myo-inositol typically can't be used as a primary therapy, it can support the treatment of several conditions including:
- PCOS or hormonal imbalances
- Brain fog or chronic stress
- Metabolic syndrome or prediabetes
- Subfertility or impaired s***m parameters

🧪 Backed by decades of research, myo-inositol is a safe, evidence-based intervention with high tolerability and wide-ranging benefits.

What is Heart Rate Variability — and Why Should You Care?

HRV (Heart Rate Variability) measures the variation in time between each heartbeat — not your pulse rate, but the tiny millisecond fluctuations between beats.

These changes are controlled by your autonomic nervous system and provide insight into how your body handles stress, recovery, and adaptation.

HRV is typically recorded via ECG, wearables (like WHOOP, Oura, or Apple Watch), or clinical heart monitors.

Higher HRV is generally associated with:
✅ Better parasympathetic tone
✅ Greater physiological resilience
✅ Improved cardiovascular and metabolic health

Lower HRV is generally associated with:
❌ Poor sleep or overtraining
❌ Chronic stress or autonomic dysregulation
❌ Inflammation, illness, or insulin resistance
❌ Poor mitochondrial or cardiovascular function

At the Performance Medicine Institute, we use HRV to guide:
✅ Training intensity and recovery protocols
✅ Sleep and circadian rhythm optimization
✅ Autonomic balance interventions (e.g., breathwork, vagal tone stimulation)
✅ Hormonal and metabolic assessments
✅ Regenerative therapies (like NAD+ and PRP) to restore recovery capacity

Call or Text Us at 602-606-8949 to learn how we use HRV and other advanced metrics to personalize your health strategy.

💪 Using Cutting Edge Technology to Optimize Patient Outcomes

We’re combining the power of Neubie electrical stimulation and Oxefit resistance training to drive muscle hypertrophy. The Neubie allows us to get deep activation of muscle fibers, and the Oxefit allows us to customize and fine-tune resistance over a specific range of motion. This approach maximizes motor unit recruitment, improves neuromuscular efficiency, and allows us to offer precision therapy to improve patient outcomes.

In this session, we’re targeting key upper body muscle groups using eccentrically loaded resistance with active electrical stimulation to recruit deeper muscle fibers and challenge the system beyond what traditional training can do alone.

Whether you’re recovering from injury or chasing peak performance, this is what modern strength science looks like.

🧠 Body Composition & Brain Health: What the Research Says

Emerging studies show that how your weight is distributed, not just how much you weigh, strongly influences dementia risk.

A major study of over 400,000 individuals in a recently published study found:
✅ Higher body fat (especially in the trunk or arms) ➝ 13–18% increased risk of neurodegenerative disease
✅ Greater muscle strength correlates with a 26% lower risk compared to low strength  
✅ The risk link was partially mediated by cardiovascular disease (like stroke or heart attack) 
✅ Body composition changes also correlated with brain biomarkers of aging and atrophy  

Additional molecular-level research confirms that intermuscular fat (fat inside the muscle) is associated with slower cognitive processing—likely due to effects on synaptic and growth factor pathways .

Clinical Takeaway: Muscle is More Than Power
💪 Muscle mass and strength help maintain cognitive resilience, even if fat loss alone isn’t enough.
🔄 Body composition (lean vs fat mass) offers more insight than BMI for brain health.
🧩 Prevention strategies like resistance training, hormonal support, metabolic therapy, and cardiovascular risk management can slow brain aging.

📞 Call or text us at 602‑606‑8949 if you want to optimize your health, reduce body fat, and improve muscle function.

Pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, groin tightness, hard flaccid, urinary frequency, or a constant feeling of pressure — these are more common than you think, and they’re not “just in your head.”

🧠 Men’s pelvic health is an often overlooked area affecting:
- Sexual function and sensation
- Core and hip stability
- Bladder and bowel control
- Athletic performance and recovery

⸻

🔎 What Can Go Wrong:
- Tight or dysfunctional pelvic floor muscles (too much tension, not weakness)
- Nerve entrapment (e.g., pudendal neuralgia)
- Scar tissue or fascial restrictions from sports hernias or past surgeries
- Chronic inflammation (e.g., prostatitis symptoms without infection)

🩺 At the Performance Medicine Institute, we assess and treat:
✅ Pelvic floor muscle coordination and overactivity
✅ Pe**le blood flow and nerve health
✅ Orthopedic contributors to groin and scrotal pain
✅ Hormonal and neurologic patterns affecting performance

🧬 Tools We Use:
- Real-time musculoskeletal ultrasound
- Targeted pelvic rehab and manual therapy
- Neuromuscular re-education and core sequencing
- Supportive therapies (shockwave, PRP, hormone optimization)
