Stress, cortisol and weight: sorting the real from the sold

Illustration separating established stress effects from marketed ones

There is a real relationship here, and an entire supplement category built on a fictional version of it.

Sildenafil and tadalafil: how the two differ

Illustration comparing the time profiles of two medicines

Same mechanism, quite different practical properties. The differences are in the product information rather than the marketing.

Shift work and weight: what the evidence supports

Illustration of a disrupted 24-hour eating and sleeping pattern

Advice written for people who sleep at night is not much use at four in the morning.

Premature ejaculation: what it is and what helps

Illustration of the components used to define premature ejaculation

The definition is narrower than most people assume, which means a lot of men who worry about this do not have it.

Portion sizes: the change that needs no arithmetic

Illustration of hand-based portion guides

You can do most of this without weighing anything, as long as you know which five foods you cannot eyeball.

Performance anxiety and erections: how the cycle starts and how it’s broken

Illustration of a looping cycle diagram with an arrow breaking out of it

Erections need the nervous system to stand down. Anxiety tells it to do the opposite — and then the memory of it does the same thing next time.

How erectile dysfunction tablets work, and how they differ

Illustration comparing onset and duration of four PDE5 inhibitors

Four medicines, one mechanism, and a set of contraindications that are misquoted more often than almost anything in this field.

PCOS and weight: what losing even a little actually does

Illustration of a dose-response line between weight loss and ovulation

There is no threshold where your periods come back. The relationship is smoother, and more encouraging, than that.

Minoxidil for hair loss: how to use it properly and what results look like

Illustration of a hair growth cycle with the growth phase extended

It works while you use it and stops working when you don’t. Most disappointment with minoxidil is a dosing problem, not a drug problem.

The Mediterranean diet: the one with outcome data

Illustration of a Mediterranean eating pattern

It is a mediocre weight-loss diet with the best hard-outcome evidence of any eating pattern studied.
