The Man Flow Yoga Team

I ended up in the ER last week after my wife and mom had to threaten me with an ambulance because they thought I was having a stroke.

This surprise visit to the ER was a wake-up call for me on several fronts: Not only did I need to be threatened with an ambulance to go to the ER (I didn’t think I was tough or anything… I just thought I’d be fine), but I was also surprised by just how many difficult emotions came up for me while getting an MRI and learning about my Bell’s Palsy.

After a scary pre-diabetes diagnosis and severe back pain at age 37, business owner Jason Gabrieli realized his busy lifestyle was hurting his health and family life.

After being denied blood donation due to sky-high blood pressure, 62-year-old Joe L. decided to transform his health. Instead of relying on medication, he used his doctor’s “baby steps” method to tackle his weight loss just 10 pounds at a time.

Seventeen months later, Joe has lost 55 pounds, balanced his hormones, and cleared his depression. His story proves you are never too old to make simple, life-changing lifestyle adjustments.

Michael Hodge joins the show to discuss why men’s sexual dysfunction is deeply tied to the nervous system and emotions, rather than just physical exercises like kegels. Drawing from his own five-year battle with severe pelvic pain and marital strain, Hodge shares how somatic practices helped him heal and reclaim his masculinity.

The episode explores holistic approaches to overcoming performance anxiety, the “nice guy complex,” and emotional suppression. Listeners will gain practical, nervous system-based techniques to reduce bedroom pressure, last longer, and transform their overall sexual health.
