Two Breakthroughs Every Modern Man Over 40 Should Know

In partnership with

Hello there, Modern Man.

You work hard, you stay busy, you want to feel strong and confident every day. But when it comes to your lower engine muscles, it is easy for things to weaken or tighten without you realizing it. These muscles matter more than most men know. They support your bladder, your blood flow, your stamina, and your ability to feel in control of your body.

The great news is this. A new technology now helps you strengthen these muscles without needing to guess if you are doing the exercises correctly. This week’s newsletter breaks down everything you need to know about this innovative Kegel machine, how it works, and how you can use it to rebuild strength and confidence.

Let’s get started.

💪 The Kegel Machine That Trains Your Pelvic Muscles For You 💪

Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles is one of the best ways to improve circulation, stability, and function in your lower region. The problem is that most men struggle to perform Kegel exercises correctly. Studies show that only one 1 out of 4 people do them the right way, and many stop early because life gets busy.

This new neuromuscular electrical stimulation device takes all the guesswork out of the process. You place two gel pads under the area between your sack and your back end. Once activated, the machine sends gentle therapeutic pulses that cause your pelvic muscles to contract for 6 seconds and relax for 6 seconds. You simply lie back and let the device complete a twenty minute session.

Using the machine 5 or 6 times a week for 6 to 8 weeks builds real, lasting strength. It pairs perfectly with your pump routine, breathing exercises, and your daily mobility habits.

🧠 Interesting Fact of the Week 🧠

Your pelvic muscles do more than hold things in place. They work like a natural trap door that helps keep blood inside the lower region.

When the muscles tighten correctly, they help maintain pressure, firmness, and circulation. When the muscles are weak or overly tense, the blood does not stay where you need it, and things feel less stable.

Many men assume their issue is circulation alone, but the truth is this. Your circulation and your pelvic muscles work as a team. If the muscles cannot support the blood, no amount of flow will make up for weak pelvic structure. This is why strengthening this area changes everything.

📚 Research Back Up 📚

A study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that pelvic floor muscle training helped improve pelvic function and firmness in men with erectile dysfunction. When electrical stimulation was added to the routine, the results improved even further. This means men benefited from both stronger contractions and improved muscle coordination.

💡 Important Tip of the Week 💡

Here are simple actions you can take this week to support strong pelvic health and better circulation.

• Practice slow deep breaths throughout the day. Try inhaling during a contraction and exhaling during relaxation when using your Kegel device.

• Avoid sitting for long periods. Stand up every forty five minutes to stretch your hips and lower back.

• Add a short 10-minute walk after meals to boost blood flow and digestion.

• Use warm showers or warm compresses on the pelvic area when you feel tension or tightness.

• Keep your hydration steady during the day while reducing heavy fluids right before bedtime.

These small habits make your pelvic training work faster and last longer.

🥗 Nutrition Corner 🥗

Good pelvic health starts with proper nutrition. Here are foods to add this week.

Your food choices have a direct impact on pelvic muscle tone, inflammation, and circulation.

You deserve clarity, confidence, and control over your health. But when it comes to prostate issues, post-surgery recovery, or performance concerns, the conversation is often brushed under the rug. That ends today.

In this week’s newsletter, you will get insights straight from Dr. Arthur Burnett, a legendary Johns Hopkins urologist with forty years of experience and a pioneering role in the science behind the famous blue pill. You will learn the truth about prostate surgery, what it means for your lower-engine performance, how to protect yourself, how to take action early, and how to rebuild strength if you ever face treatment.

Let us dive right in.

🧠 Expert Insights 🧠

Dr. Burnett shares that in the 1980s, most men presenting with performance issues received little more than herbal suggestions or referrals for implants. The science of lower-engine blood flow was not yet understood.

His research helped uncover the key chemical driving the male response: nitric oxide, a signaling molecule that relaxes blood vessels and allows proper blood flow. This discovery eventually led to the development of sildenafil, also known as Viagra, which became FDA approved in nineteen ninety eight and changed men’s health forever.

He explains that its discovery happened through a mix of science, curiosity, and serendipity. Early trial participants testing the compound for chest pain kept reporting “unexpected morning upgrades.” That sparked a whole new direction in men’s medicine.

💊 Medication Breakdown 💊

Dr. Burnett compares sildenafil and tadalafil using an analogy. He says they are like different soda brands. Same category, slightly different effects. Here is the simple breakdown

Sildenafil

• Kicks in after about one hour

• Clears out faster

• Often chosen for predictable timing

Tadalafil

• Lasts longer in your system

• Sometimes called the weekend pill

• Can also help with urinary symptoms

• May cause fewer headaches but sometimes more back tightness

Choosing between them depends on your goals, timing, and how your body reacts.

🕵️ Secret Little Hacks 🕵️

Try adding these to your routine.

• Drink a small glass of warm water upon waking to support bladder function

• Avoid sitting too long. Stand every forty five minutes

• Reduce late-night fluids to cut down nighttime bathroom trips

• Swap processed snacks for a handful of nuts or berries

• Keep stress low by practicing five rounds of slow breathing before bed

These quiet habits reduce strain on your bladder, prostate, and lower-engine circulation.

🏋️ Exercise Tips for Better Pelvic and Prostate Health 🏋️

These simple weekly movements make a major difference.

• Pelvic lifts to support circulation

• Hip mobility circles to reduce tension around the lower pelvis

• Ten minute brisk walks after meals for blood vessel health

• Deep squats to improve lower-body muscle activation

• Breathing drills to relax the pelvic nerves

These exercises support both urinary health and performance.

🧭 Evaluation Roadmap 🧭

According to Dr. Burnett, evaluation should begin with reassurance. You are not alone. You are not broken. And this is not about blame.

Your provider should review:

• Your full health history

• Medications

• Lifestyle patterns

• Cardiovascular risks

• Hormone factors

• Stress and sleep habits

Only severe cases require imaging or ultrasound.
Most men can start with non-surgical options like pills, pumps, or targeted injections.

The key is identifying whether the issue is:

• A firmness problem

• A desire problem

• A release problem

• Or a combination

Each requires a different plan.

✅ Weekly Action Items ✅

Here are your focused steps for the week to help you stay ahead of your health and keep your lower-engine running strong. Each item is simple, doable, and designed to move you closer to long-term confidence and control.

• Schedule your yearly PSA check if you are over 45.

• Add 2 servings of leafy greens daily.

• Limit alcohol to special occasions.

• Get 7 or 8 hours of sleep.

• Do one pelvic routine this week.

Small, consistent efforts protect your health long-term.

❓ Q&A Corner ❓

Q: If my PSA is normal, does that mean I cannot have prostate cancer?
A: No. You can still have cancer with a PSA in the normal range. What matters is both the number and the trend over time.

Q: Does prostate enlargement cause performance issues?
A: Not directly. They often appear together because they share underlying vascular causes.

Q: How long after prostate surgery until lower-engine function returns?
A: With high quality nerve-sparing surgery and good health, many men recover in one to two years, though about half may need additional treatment.

Q: Does having prostate surgery mean I will definitely lose my lower-engine function forever?
A: No. Many men regain function over time, especially with good pre-surgery health, nerve-sparing techniques, and proper recovery strategies.

Q: Can lifestyle habits really improve urinary symptoms and performance, or is medication always required?
A: Yes. Daily habits such as movement, weight control, reducing processed foods, and lowering stress can significantly improve both urinary flow and performance, sometimes reducing the need for medication.
