In Episode 4 of The Ultimate Men’s Movement, Dr. Jack Rocco dives headfirst into one of the most misunderstood yet highly requested topics in men’s health: male enhancement and girth optimization.

Recorded on location after an intensive hands-on training week in Miami, this episode introduces a non-surgical, permanent solution for penile girth enhancement using advanced injectable collagen-induction technology.

Joined by Dr. Victor Lauria, the pioneer behind this patented silicone-based filler system, Dr. Rocco breaks down the science, psychology, safety, and real-world outcomes of permanent girth enhancement — and why girth, not length, is the true driver of sexual satisfaction and confidence.

This episode addresses:

• Why girth matters more than length for stimulation

• The difference between temporary fillers and permanent collagen formation

• The psychological impact of size insecurity on men

• Who this procedure is for — married, single, straight, gay

• Safety, customization, reversibility, and long-term outcomes

• Why this completes the “full circle” of men’s health: function, confidence, and performance

This is a straightforward, no-BS conversation for men who want real solutions, not gimmicks.

Dr. Rocco opens the episode by sharing his initial hesitation:

• Traveling to Miami to train in penile enhancement

• Questioning legitimacy vs. hype

• Quickly realizing the deep science behind collagen induction and tissue remodeling

What followed was a week of:

• Microenvironment study

• Injectable chemistry

• Long-term tissue response analysis

Dr. Victor Lauria explains the core breakthrough:

• Permanent injectable filler

• Uses medical-grade silicone oil in a patented formulation

• Triggers a controlled inflammatory response

• The body responds by creating permanent collagen

• No hyaluronic acid

• No yearly maintenance

• No surgery

“We’re not filling — we’re inducing your body to build.”

Key clinical insight:

• Average girth: 4.75–5 inches

• Optimal stimulation range: ~7 inches

• Vaginal nerve branches run through the walls, not just the entrance

• Increased girth = increased wall stimulation = faster and stronger orgasms

Real patient feedback:

• Time-to-orgasm reduced from ~20 minutes to ~60 seconds

• Increased partner satisfaction

• Improved confidence and intimacy

Dr. Lauria discusses patient demographics:

• Married men seeking better intimacy

• Single men wanting confidence

• Gay men (often more girth-focused)

• Men with micropenis

• Men with severe psychological distress due to size insecurity

Notable point:

“I had a patient who wanted to jump off a bridge. After treatment, his life changed.”

Important expectations set:

• Erect appearance is the priority

• Flaccid appearance varies due to natural retraction

• Perfectionists are cautioned

• Every penis is a moving target

Customization includes:

• Shaft and glans balancing

• Adjustments for lifestyle (nudity, open relationships, athletic build)

• Reduction procedures available if overdone (rare)

For uncircumcised men:

• Loose foreskin increases complication risk

• Circumcision often recommended prior to enhancement

• Package options include circumcision + enhancement for optimal results

Typical pricing:

• Two-treatment package: ~$15,000

• Permanent result (vs. $14,000/year for temporary fillers)

Perspective offered:

“Skip the car. Get the enhancement. This lasts decades.”

This same filler technology can be used for:

• Pectoral defects

• Biceps ruptures

• Chest wall deformities (pectus excavatum)

• Cosmetic body contour correction

This makes it a multi-disciplinary regenerative cosmetic tool, not just a sexual enhancement procedure.

Dr. Rocco emphasizes:

• This is not about vanity

• It’s about confidence, performance, mental health, and intimacy

• Combined with hormone optimization and functional care, it completes men’s wellness

In this powerful episode of The Ultimate Men’s Movement, Dr. Jack Rocco sits down with Michael Aguas, founder of The Reignstorm Group, to break down real-world tax strategies that high-income earners, business owners, and professionals can still use — even late in the year.

This conversation goes far beyond “tax filing” and dives into true tax strategy — the kind used by top executives, physicians, entrepreneurs, and ultra-high earners to legally reduce or eliminate excessive tax burdens.

Michael explains the critical difference between tax preparation and tax strategy, why most CPAs are reactive instead of proactive, and how overlooked sections of the tax code can dramatically change your financial future when used correctly.

If you are:

• A business owner paying six figures in taxes

• A physician or high-income professional

• Approaching a liquidity event, sale, or major income year

• Worried about protecting assets from divorce or lawsuits

• Trying to reinvest in your business instead of handing profits to the government

👉 This episode is essential listening.

Michael makes a crucial distinction:

• Tax Advisors (CPAs):

  • Primarily reactive

  • File returns based on what already happened

  • Focus on compliance, not optimization

• Tax Strategists:

  • Proactively plan years in advance

  • Identify overlooked sections of the tax code

  • Work alongside CPAs, not against them

  • Help clients legally retain more of what they earn

“Most people aren’t overpaying taxes because they’re reckless — they’re overpaying because they’re uninformed.”

Many business owners:

• Have a SEP IRA or basic 401(k)

• Max them out

• Still pay massive taxes

Michael explains:

• There are advanced retirement plans allowing six-figure annual contributions

• Every dollar contributed reduces taxable income

• These plans are often completely overlooked by standard CPAs

Michael breaks down one of the most powerful tools in the tax code:

• Allows full write-off of qualifying assets

• Assets can be leveraged

• Small cash outlay can generate huge deductions

• Can also create positive monthly cash flow

Example:

• Invest $100,000

• Finance the rest

• Receive a $1,000,000 deduction

• Improve business productivity

• Lower taxes dramatically

A simple but powerful strategy:

• Push income into January when possible

• Pull expenses into December

• Lower taxable income for the current year

• Move tax liability forward strategically

Timing matters — even a few weeks can change outcomes.

Michael introduces a little-known strategy used by billionaires and elite athletes:

• Assets placed inside a for-profit LLC

• 99% owned by a nonprofit partner

• 1% owned by the individual as managing partner

• Income largely flows tax-free

• Assets are outside the reach of:

  • Divorce settlements

  • Personal creditors

  • Business lawsuits

Used famously by Mark Zuckerberg and others.

Key requirement:

• Legitimate charitable intent

• Annual giving (typically 5–10% of profits)

Key takeaway:

• The top earners often pay 5–6% effective tax rates

• Not because they cheat — but because they plan

• They work with strategists early

• They understand leverage, structure, and timing

“Most people pay more tax than the government is actually asking for.”

Michael highlights a reality few talk about:

• Money stress is the #1 cause of marital conflict

• High taxes reduce flexibility

• Planning relieves pressure

• Retaining profits strengthens families and businesses

Short answer: It’s not — but time matters.

• December is still workable

• Strategies must be implemented correctly

• Requires immediate conversations

• Needs coordination with CPAs

Best practice:

• Strategy call with the client

• Ideally include the CPA

• Black-and-white tax code — no loopholes

• Conservative, defensible planning

Michael emphasizes:

• Men deserve to keep what they earn and deploy it intentionally

“Most people aren’t overpaying taxes because they’re reckless — they’re overpaying because they’re uninformed.”

n this powerful continuation of The Ultimate Men’s Movement, Dr. Jack Rocco tackles one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized topics in men’s health — testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

For years, men have been told:

• “Low testosterone is normal”

• “Testosterone causes heart disease”

• “You should just live with it”

• “TRT is dangerous”

👉 None of that is true.

In this episode, Dr. Jack breaks down:

• The science behind testosterone

• Why low testosterone is actually MORE dangerous than TRT

• How modern studies (including the TRAVERSE study) have debunked old myths

• Why testosterone is critical for heart health, brain health, bone strength, metabolism, and longevity

• How ultra-processed food, toxins, stress, and sedentary lifestyles are destroying hormone levels

• Why today’s 30-year-old men often have testosterone levels of a 60-year-old

• How testosterone improves mental clarity, mood, motivation, energy, libido, and confidence

• Why TRT is NOT a performance-enhancing drug when medically supervised

• How testosterone prevents osteoporosis and deadly hip fractures

• Why wellness medicine must replace illness-based healthcare

Dr. Jack also explains:

• The difference between “normal” lab ranges and optimal levels

• Why average testosterone today is NOT healthy

• How visceral belly fat destroys hormone balance

• Why men must treat hormones like blood pressure — early, not late

• Why men’s health is collapsing and how to reverse it

This episode is essential listening for:

• Men over 30 feeling tired, foggy, unmotivated, or depressed

• Men with belly fat, low energy, or declining performance

• Men worried about heart disease, bone loss, or aging

• Men skeptical of TRT due to outdated fear-based messaging

• Couples struggling with mismatched libido or vitality

• Anyone who wants health span, not just lifespan

Dr. Jack explains how testosterone was lumped into the same fear narrative as estrogen decades ago — without solid evidence.

• Early studies were flawed

• Older men with existing heart disease were used

• Testosterone was blamed instead of age and illness

• The stigma stuck — even as science evolved

Modern data now shows:

• Low testosterone increases cardiovascular risk

• TRT does not increase heart attack or stroke risk

• Men with healthy testosterone have better outcomes

• TRT improves metabolic and vascular function

👉 Low-T is the risk — not replacement therapy

TRT is not just about sex.

Benefits include:

• Reduced visceral belly fat

• Increased muscle mass

• Better insulin sensitivity

• Improved energy and motivation

• Sharper mental focus

• Better mood and confidence

• Stronger bones

• Improved cardiovascular health

Dr. Jack explains:

• Lab ranges are based on today’s unhealthy population

• Average testosterone has dropped dramatically since the 1970s

• A “normal” result does NOT mean optimal

• Symptoms matter more than numbers

🔍 Example:

• Below 300 ng/dL = clearly Low-T

• 300–450 ng/dL = symptomatic for many men

• Optimal often lies much higher, depending on the individual

One of the most dangerous effects of low testosterone:

• Fat accumulates around organs, not just under skin

• Increases inflammation

• Worsens insulin resistance

• Suppresses testosterone production even more

👉 A vicious cycle that TRT helps break

This is a critical, often ignored benefit.

Low testosterone leads to:

• Bone density loss

• Higher fracture risk

• Increased mortality after hip fractures

TRT helps:

• Maintain collagen and calcium balance

• Strengthen bones

• Reduce fracture risk

• Improve long-term mobility

Dr. Jack clarifies:

• Medically supervised TRT ≠ abuse

• TRT restores physiological levels

• Steroid abuse pushes levels far beyond safe ranges

• Peptides can stimulate natural hormone production

• Optimization ≠ enhancement

• Treats symptoms late

• Relies on pharmaceuticals

• Ignores root causes

Men’s health optimization:

• Prevents disease

• Enhances vitality

• Extends health span

• Keeps men strong, capable, and engaged

“Low testosterone is more dangerous than testosterone replacement.”

Welcome back to The Ultimate Men’s Movement, brought to you by The Ultimate Men’s Clinic.
Today’s guest is someone Dr. Jack relates to deeply — orthopedic surgeon Dr. Adrian Towson, who is courageously reinventing her career after walking away from private-equity-controlled medicine.

After 21 years as a respected orthopedic surgeon in West Chester, PA, Dr. Towson reached a breaking point.
Private equity had taken over her practice, stripped physicians of autonomy, slashed compensation, increased demands, and turned high-level specialists into “volume machines.”

Her story is powerful.
Her transition is inspiring.
And her new mission — longevity, wellness, hormone optimization, and patient-first care — is exactly what healthcare SHOULD look like.

This is a must-listen episode for:

• Physicians burnt out by corporate medicine

• Patients confused about why care feels “different”

• Men and women frustrated with the 7-minute appointment model

• Anyone exploring hormone optimization, functional medicine, or aging well

• Anyone who wants to take back control of their own health

Dr. Jack and Dr. Towson go deep on:

• What REALLY happens when private equity buys a medical practice

• Why surgeons lose autonomy, control, money, and quality of life

• The moral injury physicians face

• Why men AND women need hormone optimization

• The future of wellness, longevity, peptides, and regenerative medicine

• How perimenopause & menopause destroy women's health if ignored

• Why bone health, strength training, peptides & estrogen therapy matter

• Why insurance-controlled healthcare will NEVER support wellness

• The liberation of starting a cash-based, patient-focused clinic

• Why the best doctors are now leaving the system

• How YOU can access better care, personalized attention, and actual solutions

Dr. Towson is now launching The Towson Clinic in West Chester, PA — a center focused on:

• Longevity medicine

• Hormone therapy (HRT)

• Women’s health

• Men’s health

• Peptides

• Weight loss

• Strength & mobility optimization

• Regenerative treatments

• Lab-based personalized wellness

Her passion is real.
Her courage is rare.
Her authenticity is refreshing.
This conversation is one you won’t forget.

• Fellowship-trained sports medicine surgeon

• 19 years in private practice

• Loved her community & patient base

• Took call, did trauma, treated athletes, built a respected brand

She breaks down:

• What private equity promises

• What REALLY happens behind closed doors

• Why physicians suddenly lose power, voice, and autonomy

• How billing, staffing, supplies & decisions become “corporate”

• Why salaries drop 40–50%

• Why patient care suffers

• Why morale collapses

• Why physicians burn out — or get pushed out

Not burnout — moral injury.
Dr. Jack and Dr. Towson expose the truth:

• Being forced to cut corners

• Being forced to rush patients

• Being unable to give proper care

• Being forced to meet productivity quotas

• Being told “see more patients” instead of “fix the system”

After years of pressure, loss of control, and unsustainable demands, she made the hardest decision of her life:

👉 She walked away with no plan.

No job.
No safety net.
No guarantees.
Just integrity — and exhaustion.

This is where the conversation becomes electric.

She discovered:

• Hormone therapy

• Peptides

• Menopause optimization

• Strength training

• Nutrition

• Longevity medicine

• Functional medicine

• Personalized wellness

She FIXED her own:

• Weight gain

• Sleep issues

• Perimenopause symptoms

• Stress damage

• Energy crash

Now she’s helping others do the same.

A new model of care:

• No insurance interference

• No corporate control

• No production quotas

• No middlemen

Just:

• personalized care

• longer appointments

• customized labs

• real conversations

• solutions based on physiology, not billing codes

Dr. Towson shares:

• Why perimenopause lasts 10 YEARS

• Why women gain weight despite eating clean

• Why sleep collapses

• Why estrogen matters

• Why women are suffering silently

• Why HRT is returning stronger than ever

In this solo episode of The Ultimate Men’s Movement, Dr. Jack Rocco tackles one of the biggest, most costly, and often ignored issues facing men today: we avoid the doctor until it’s too late.

November is Men’s Health Awareness Month, and with healthcare costs skyrocketing, Dr. Jack breaks down why taking charge of your health now is the smartest financial, physical, and emotional investment a man can make.

This episode cuts straight to the truth about:

• Why men don’t visit the doctor

• Why confidence can become denial

• The real dangers of “I’m fine” syndrome

• Visceral fat, high blood pressure, and silent killers

• Why insurance isn’t healthcare

• How to regain control of your health before crisis hits

• What The Ultimate Men’s Clinic does differently

• And how the RIGHT doctor makes all the difference

If you’re a man in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond — or you care about one — this episode is a wake-up call.

Stop ignoring the warning signs. Start investing in the only body you have.

Dr. Jack explains the psychology behind it:

• “Men think we’re invincible.”

• “If I go, they’ll find something.”

• The old-school belief: Suck it up and keep working.

• Masculinity = silence, denial, avoidance.

He breaks down how these beliefs destroy men’s health in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Common patterns Dr. Jack sees:

• Men wait until symptoms are severe.

• Aches, fatigue, belly fat, poor sleep — all ignored.

• They maintain their lawnmower better than their own body.

Dr. Jack dives into common silent killers:

• The “hard beer belly”

• Surrounds your organs

• Increases risk of strokes, heart attacks, and fatty liver disease

• No symptoms until it’s serious

• Can cause strokes, kidney disease, and heart failure

• No longer just for heavy drinkers

• Caused by processed foods and insulin resistance

• PSA tests save lives

• Prostate cancer caught early is highly treatable

Men don’t realize:

• Health problems caught early are simple to treat

• Waiting multiplies the cost, risk, and long-term damage

Dr. Jack exposes the lie:

“Insurance is NOT healthcare.”

Healthcare =
✔️ Preventing disease
✔️ Early detection
✔️ Staying strong, fit, functional
✔️ Tracking the right data early

The Ultimate Men’s Clinic focuses on:

• Personalized exams

• Testosterone optimization

• Weight management

• Heart and metabolic health

• Sexual performance and ED treatment

• Orthopedic and joint care

• Men’s mental and emotional wellness

Men avoid the doctor partly because:

• Appointments feel rushed

• They feel judged

• They feel talked down to

• They get prescribed pills without being heard

At The Ultimate Men’s Clinic:

• Appointments run at the pace men need

• Dr. Jack speaks like a man, to men

• Zero embarrassment, zero judgment

• Clear explanations

• A partnership — not a lecture

“Men don’t need to feel like fools in front of their doctor.
They need to feel understood.” — Dr. Jack

“Guys will tune up their lawnmower before tuning up their own body.” — Dr. Jack

“If you’re healthy now, that’s the best time to get baselines — not after the damage is done.”

“The biggest risk factor I see in men isn’t age — it’s denial.”

“Once men trust you, they tell you the truth. And that’s how you save lives.”

• Go to the doctor before something is wrong.

• Visceral fat is FAR more dangerous than you think.

• Your 40s are your biggest fork in the road.

• Prevention saves money — illness drains it.

• Build a relationship with a doctor you trust.

• Your health determines your future — not your age.

Become the strongest, healthiest version of yourself — inside and out.

In this heartfelt episode of The Ultimate Men’s Movement, Dr. Jack Rocco reconnects with his former fifth-grade teacher, Yvonne Caputo — now a celebrated author of Flying with Dad and Dying with Dad.

Together, they revisit the remarkable story of Yvonne’s father, a World War II B-24 pilot, whose once-guarded heart and wartime trauma unfolded through storytelling and trust late in life. Through their conversation, they explore father–daughter relationships, emotional healing, legacy, and the courage to talk openly about death, dying, and preparation for the inevitable.

Yvonne shares how her father’s transformation from a stoic, angry man to a vulnerable storyteller changed their bond forever — and how that journey inspired her two books, one about living through her father’s eyes (Flying with Dad) and one about helping him die with dignity (Dying with Dad).

“He trusted me with letting him go.” – Yvonne Caputo

• How a late-night call with her father sparked a flood of untold World War II stories.

• The process of documenting those memories and turning them into her debut book, Flying with Dad.

• How storytelling opened emotional doors between father and daughter.

• Her father’s nightmares, flashbacks, and PTSD — and how Yvonne used her psychotherapy training to help him heal.

• The generational silence of men who “didn’t talk about their feelings.”

• Understanding the “greatest generation” — men who provided but didn’t always know how to emotionally connect.

• How Yvonne became her father’s safe space for vulnerability and healing.

• The deeply personal process of writing her second book about her father’s passing.

• How their emotional closeness guided his end-of-life care and peaceful death at home.

• What it means to have “sacred joy” when saying goodbye to someone you love.

• The importance of advance directives and the Five Wishes document — how to prepare loved ones for end-of-life decisions.

• What it is: a simple, affordable ($5) guide to planning your final wishes.

• What it covers:

  • Medical decisions

  • Pain management

  • Spiritual preferences

  • Funeral details

  • How you want to be remembered

• Why everyone — not just the elderly — should fill one out.

• How Yvonne used the Five Wishes to help her father die peacefully and on his terms.

• Why fathers from older generations struggled with emotion.

• The transformation that happens when fathers and daughters truly listen to one another.

• Yvonne’s advice:

  “If you want to know your father, go to him — he’s not coming to you.”

• How writing Flying with Dad inspired others to reconnect with their parents.

• A woman who, after reading the book, finally began spending time with her father.

• A man who used Dying with Dad to plan his end-of-life conversation with his children.

• How books, storytelling, and honest conversations heal generations.

“He didn’t know that his feelings were normal. He didn’t know that talking about things was okay.” – Yvonne Caputo
“The surgeon doesn’t do the healing — the blood does. The same is true in families: connection does the healing.” – Dr. Jack Rocco
“You grow too soon old and too late smart.” – Yvonne Caputo
“He trusted me with letting him go.” – Yvonne Caputo

• Talk about death before it’s too late. Avoid chaos and guilt by preparing now.

• Use the Five Wishes Document: https://fivewishes.org

• Listen for life’s small openings: When someone shares a story, ask “Tell me more about that.”

• Forgive the silence: Many fathers didn’t know how to express emotion — but they wanted to.

• Celebrate connection: Love and legacy can transcend decades of misunderstanding.

In this powerful episode of The Ultimate Men’s Movement, Dr. Jack Rocco and Neil Haley welcome Army veteran and Vet S.O.S. founder Shawn Welsh, whose 20-year military career—beginning after 9/11—shaped his mission to help other veterans successfully transition back to civilian life.

Shawn shares how his own transition inspired the creation of Vet S.O.S., a nonprofit network and podcast dedicated to educating veterans on resources, mental health, entrepreneurship, and the often-overlooked emotional impact of leaving the service. Together, Dr. Jack and Shawn explore the identity shift veterans face, the loss of camaraderie, and the importance of rediscovering purpose and mission after the uniform comes off.

• How 9/11 changed Shawn’s life path from pursuing music to serving his country.

• The journey from four-year enlistment plans to a full 20-year Army career.

• How mentorship and peer encouragement led to starting a podcast for veterans in transition.

• Growing Vet S.O.S. into a trusted educational nonprofit connecting veterans with vetted resources.

• Why open dialogue and real stories—not scripts—create genuine healing and connection.

• The emotional fallout of leaving the military and “losing your tribe.”

• Common triggers: isolation, quiet time, movies, and memories that resurface unexpectedly.

• Why the first civilian job can be such a culture shock—meetings that start late, loose accountability, no shared mission.

• How suppressed emotions surface when veterans finally have downtime.

• Why men often resist help and the stigma around expressing emotions.

• Learning to give yourself grace—each person’s transition journey is unique.

• The bond between veterans transcends time—“You could go 20 years without talking and pick up right where you left off.”

• The importance of building new communities that recreate that connection and purpose.

• Dr. Jack and Shawn share what military life taught them:

  • Dr. Jack: The power of service over self and separating personal ego from professional mission.

  • Shawn: Understanding your true capabilities, facing challenges fearlessly, and always having a mission.

• Why mindset, teamwork, and accountability remain core to success after service.

• Civilians often underestimate veterans’ leadership, intelligence, and adaptability.

• Veterans go from “120 mph with guns blazing” to being told to “tone it down”—and that adjustment can be jarring.

• The value of translating military skills into civilian language that resonates.

“Being in the military becomes part of your DNA—it’s not just something you did, it’s who you are.” – Shawn Welsh
“You’re not you when you serve; you’re the Air Force, the Army, the mission. When you come back, that identity shift can shake you.” – Dr. Jack Rocco
“Men thrive when they have a mission and vision—without it, they drift.” – Neil Haley

• Veterans need purpose: The loss of mission after service is one of the biggest contributors to anxiety and depression.

• Find your tribe again: Connection with fellow vets—through podcasts, nonprofits, or local meetups—restores belonging.

• Give yourself grace: Transition is not failure; it’s transformation.

• Mindset over fear: The military builds resilience—use that same mindset for life’s next challenge.

In this episode of The Ultimate Men’s Movement, Dr. Jack Rocco and Neil Haley sit down with Dr. Andrew (Andy) Cislo, sociologist, adoptee, and founder of Fork + Band Slingshot Gallery in Bristol, Connecticut — the first of its kind in the United States. Andy’s story is one of transformation: from battling mental and physical health challenges and addiction to rediscovering purpose through focus, mindfulness, and entrepreneurship.

What began as a personal recovery tool using a simple slingshot became a powerful mindfulness practice, a connection point for families, and now a thriving business helping others rediscover discipline, focus, and joy — one shot at a time.

• Andy’s early life as an adoptee, struggles with identity, and trauma from the closed-adoption era.

• How his near-death experiences and hospitalizations led to deep self-reflection and recovery.

• The story of pulling an old slingshot from the closet and finding mindfulness, focus, and strength through repetitive, meditative practice.

• How it became both physical therapy and spiritual practice — “Zen archery with rubber bands.”

• Andy’s academic roots: a PhD in sociology focused on stress, health, and resilience.

• Why his current work aligns perfectly with his research on trauma recovery and community connection.

• Turning a backyard hobby into a 3,100-square-foot indoor shooting gallery in Bristol, CT.

• A family-friendly, alcohol-free environment focused on safety, precision, and fun for all ages.

• Why it’s not just a “rage room” — it’s a safe, structured, and mindful activity for families, kids, and adults alike.

• Helping young men and boys rediscover focus and confidence in a positive, supervised space.

• Restoring the lost art of simple, tactile skill-building in a world dominated by screens.

• Encouraging father-son bonding, stress relief, and mindfulness through real-life action — not virtual rewards.

• The surprising history: from David and Goliath to modern precision latex technology.

• International competitions and the rebirth of slingshot shooting as a precision sport.

• The importance of technique, discipline, and tuning for accuracy and flow.

“It started as rehab, but it became a way to rebuild my focus, my strength, and my peace.” – Dr. Andrew Cislo
“Fathers — bring your sons, bring your daughters. It’s a way to reconnect through real movement and real focus.” – Dr. Jack Rocco

• Mindful Movement Heals: Physical focus helps mental recovery — whether it’s archery, golf, or slingshots.

• Entrepreneurial Therapy: Your recovery can inspire your career.

• Family Focus: Activities like this teach patience, coordination, and connection for all ages.

• Reclaim Boyhood Skills: Precision, concentration, and healthy competition still matter.

In this straight-talk episode of The Ultimate Men’s Health Movement, Dr. Jack Rocco breaks down exactly how he evaluates and treats erectile dysfunction—from the first conversation to precision, personalized treatment. He covers testosterone’s role, why free T matters, how SHBG can muddy the picture, when and how to use PDE5 meds (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra), the power of compounding and sublingual dosing, brain-level helpers like apomorphine and oxytocin, office-tested Trimix autoinjectors for guaranteed rigidity and tailored duration, and regenerative options like the P-Shot (PRP) for tissue quality and venous leak. He also tackles the mental load on both partners and why the right plan often repairs confidence and connection—not just performance.

1. The First Visit: What Dr. Jack Asks

• Obtain vs. maintain: where does the problem start

• Can you complete the encounter; is your partner satisfied

• Context: stress, sleep, meds, health conditions, relationship factors

1. Testosterone 101 (and why “average” isn’t optimal)

• Total vs. free testosterone and why free T drives function

• SHBG can bind most T; high SHBG with “normal” total can still feel like low T

• When to look deeper: free T, SHBG, LH, FSH and how that guides therapy

1. Step 1: Testosterone Optimization

• Goal: wake up tissues, restore sensation and responsiveness

• Typical patient feedback: more fullness, better sensitivity, improved energy and mood

1. Step 2: PDE5 Medications (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra)

• Onset and duration differences (single night vs. weekend coverage)

• Why compounding helps: precise micro-dosing, combo formulas, sublingual options for faster effect

• Personalizing to minimize side effects and maximize reliability

1. Step 3: Support for the “Big Head”

• Apomorphine for central arousal drive

• Oxytocin for bonding, relaxation, and responsiveness

• Combining brain and body support to reduce pressure and improve experience

1. Step 4: Trimix Autoinjectors (reliability on demand)

• How autoinject pens work with tiny 30-gauge needles

• Dialing firmness and duration via Bimix/Trimix/Quadmix blends

• Office testing to set the right dose and remove uncertainty

• Especially helpful when neuro-signals are impaired (e.g., spinal cord injury)

1. Step 5: Regenerative Medicine and Venous Leak

• P-Shot (PRP) basics: spin blood, concentrate plasma, bathe erectile tissues

• Goals: tissue quality, responsiveness; potential help with venous leak

• When to add PRP to a plan

1. The Relationship Reset

• The performance spiral: why anxiety and avoidance compound the issue

• Replacing pressure with a plan restores confidence, intimacy, and ease for both partners

• Don’t guess, assess: history, exam, and labs (total T, free T, SHBG) reveal the path.

• Start simple, personalize fast: many men improve with T optimization plus a tailored PDE5 approach.

• Reliability changes everything: Trimix autoinjectors provide guaranteed rigidity when needed.

• Regenerate strategically: PRP can support tissue health and address venous leak considerations.

• Confidence is contagious: solving performance often solves pressure and reconnects the relationship.
