Although adolescent males have as many health issues and concerns as adolescent females, they are much less likely to be seen in a clinical setting. This is related to both individual factors and the health care system itself, which is not always encouraging and set up to provide comprehensive male health care. Working with adolescent boys involves gaining the knowledge and skills to address concerns such as puberty and sexuality, substance use, violence, risk-taking behaviours and mental health issues. The ability to engage the young male patient is critical, and the professional must be comfortable in initiating conversation about a wide array of topics with the teen boy, who may be reluctant to discuss his concerns. It is important to take every opportunity with adolescent boys to talk about issues beyond the presenting complain, and let them know about confidential care. Charles J. Wibbelsman, M.D. Chief,The Teenage Clinic Adolescent Medicine Subspecialists Kaiser Permanente, comes on the show to help parents deal with the ongoing and sometimes frustrating health concerns of our teenage boys.

HGH (Human Growth Hormone) is an amino acid produced in the anterior pituitary gland of the brain. HGH is continually secreted throughout the human lifecycle. It influences our growth and aging process, and it is the hormone responsible for keeping our bodies young and in good health. HGH affects every bodily function, including sex and reproduction, growth and development, metabolism and mood. HGH levels are at their highest during childhood, and they peak at adolescence. After this, levels continue to decline. By age 61, HGH levels decrease to 80% less than what they were at age 21. Mark Webb, C.E.O and head of research and development for High Energy Labs, Inc. comes on the show to discuss the ways to increase HGH levels naturally, and that when used properly, it can simply help us lead healthier lives."

Dr. D.J. Verret feels that people with male pattern baldness are living during a revolutionary time. “Only a couple of decades ago, when you lost your hair, you lost it,” he said. “It was gone. You only had a couple of options. You could shave your head completely, but let’s face it, only a few guys can really make that Vin Diesel look work for them. Or, they could get the Turbo 2000 toupee, which was uncomfortable, caused heat rashes and looked fake. Today, there is a laundry list of choices men and women have when facing that rat’s nest of hair they leave after they brush their hair in the morning.” Dr. Daniel Joseph "D.J." Verret comes on the show to discuss the different types of Hair restoration treatments, and their benefits.

BioCosmetic Center cites findings concluding that women undergo cosmetic procedures more often than men. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery agree. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that of 8.79 million cosmetic procedures completed in the year 2003, 7.4 million were completed for female patients. 1.2 million cosmetic procedures were completed for men. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery statistics over 90% of all cosmetic procedures completed in 2009 were for women (over 9 million total). The traditional stereotype is that cosmetic procedures are only for women. There are a lot of men that benefit drastically from a variety of cosmetic procedures. But that doesn’t mean that the traditional stereotype is unfounded. The majority of patients are still female, but the proffession is seeing more and more men interested in procedures such as liposuction,laser hair removal,acne-scarring, and even wrinkle removal procedures.” Dr. Guanciale comes on the show to discuss men and cosmetic surgery.
