If there's one thing you can count on in life, it's that your body will change over time. Many men in their early 20s feel bulletproof and ready to take on the world. But it's only a matter of time before age starts to play a part in day-to-day life. Injuries take a longer time to heal, hangovers seem to last longer than ever, and aches and pains become part of normal life. For many men approaching middle age, something more concerning than backaches begins to happen: their ability to be intimate becomes more difficult. If you find that your love life is becoming or has become compromised, you're not alone - more than 18 million men are affected by erectile dysfunction in the U.S.
While it's completely normal to have trouble in the bedroom as you get older, that doesn't mean you have to settle for it. Unfortunately, in the past, men were taught to just “suck it up” and deal with their problems in private. Thankfully, those days are long gone. If you're ready to fight back against ED and regain your lost passion, Alpha Med Group has the erectile dysfunction treatment in Cityname, State, you've been looking for.
At Alpha Med Group, our team knows how difficult it can be to navigate the mental and physical changes that manifest as we grow older. We know it can be tempting to give up and accept the dull new life ahead of you. But we're here to tell you there is a better way to age. If you're ready to live as you did in your prime, our integrative aging services will help you meet your goals and enjoy life with more energy, youth, and passion.

We use multimodal strategies to help you take control of your health through quality healthcare, positive life choices, proper diet, and staying active. When combined with the latest research in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, our patients benefit from a fully personalized approach. Unlike other health clinics, our programs target the root causes of our patient's symptoms. That way, they can enjoy a healthy, fulfilling life in public and also in the bedroom.
We're proud to have everything you need to improve your health and achieve your goals. Our providers will expertly handle your nuanced health challenges using advanced therapies like GAINSWave treatments to achieve a results-based outcome you'll love.
Some of the most common conditions we treat at Alpha Med Group include:
When it comes to male health, talking about sex can still feel a little taboo, even in today's modern times. That's especially true when there are deficiencies or performance concerns at play. If you're a man reading this and you're nodding your head in agreement, we know how you're feeling. Thankfully, you don't have to be angry or embarrassed about your performance for much longer.
While your primary care doctor might start you off with ED medications, such options don't really offer real solutions to your problem. Plus, they can cause concerning side effects. Thankfully there's a new, revolutionary therapy on the market called GAINSWave, and we'd be willing to bet it's unlike anything you've tried before.
Unlike most ED options, GAINSWave doesn't require drugs or surgery. Instead, it uses innovative acoustic waves to boost blood flow and stimulate tissues in your penis while also breaking up micro plaques. That means you can say goodbye to the days of sketchy blue pills and painful surgeries.
GAINSWave offers the first non-surgical ED option that helps with Peyronie's Disease and premature ejaculation as well. Alpha Med Group's GAINSWave treatments are painless and safe for most men suffering from erectile dysfunction. If you're looking for a no-nonsense, discreet way to enhance your sexual performance and achieve more substantial erections, GAINSWave is the long-term solution you need. Some benefits of GAINSWave treatments include:
You're probably thinking to yourself, “This all sounds great, but how does it work?” Don't worry; we've got you covered.
GAINSWave might sound too good to be true on the surface. However, this type of erectile dysfunction treatment in Clearwater uses science-based, research-backed applications and technologies that have been proven to be effective.
GAINSWave works by targeting the underlying issue of ED: blood flow. Continuous blood flow is critical in maintaining an erection. As men age, blood vessels in their penis break down and fill up with micro plaques, further reducing blood flow. GAINSWave treatment addresses this issue using low-intensity shockwaves or acoustic pulses to re-open closed blood vessels and help form new ones simultaneously. This increased blood flow essentially eliminates the symptoms of erectile dysfunction, letting men across the country gain a new lease on life.
Because this procedure is drug, surgery, and needle-free, most men won't have to stress about costly insurance claims or ugly scarring. All you need to think about is enjoying life with a new pep in your step, whether you're headed to work or spending time with your spouse in the bedroom.
Alpha Med Group's patients love that GAINSWave is quick, effective, and gets right to the root cause of their issues. Our GAINSWave treatments yield long-term results with optimized sexual performance and even treat other issues like Peyronie's disease.
Any man older than 30 can enjoy the benefits of GAINSWave therapy. Men with or without erectile dysfunction use GAINSWave to reshape their sex lives without resorting to over-the-counter pills and prescriptions like Cialis. While it's true that the “blue pill” can temporarily relieve ED, that relief is short-lived because pills don't address the root cause of the issue. To make matters worse, many drugs have unwanted and unsafe side effects. GAINSWave represents a much safer, more effective solution for men who are sick and tired of the stress and embarrassment associated with ED.
Whether you're dealing with severe erectile dysfunction or you simply want a little more spark with your partner, GAINSWave is the surgery-free, drug-free alternative you can rely on.
To help you get a better understanding of Alpha Med Group's GAINSWave therapy, consider these quick facts:
In today's day and age, products that promise quick results and convenience are king. It makes sense, then, that many men want the fastest solution to their ED problem. While it's easy to pop a “little blue pill,” doing so can come with consequences that you don't get with GAINSWave treatment. And when it comes to sketchy over-the-counter options that you can buy at your local gas station, the risks are quite concerning. Before you re-up your prescription or head to the gas station, consider these side effects:
If you're one of the many men who settled for strange side effects just to regain confidence in the bedroom, it's time to celebrate. Rather than relying on prescriptions or a la carte options, health-conscious men are using GAINSWave treatments for a safer, natural solution with no side effects.
Despite the fact that millions of men around the country suffer from erectile dysfunction, most males won't talk about it. Maybe it's because they're embarrassed. Maybe it's because they simply don't understand what's going on. However, ignoring the issue can have long-term consequences and may result in problems like Peyronie's disease.
Peyronie's disease, which affects about 9% of men, can occur at any age. It is most often characterized by a curve or bend in the penis, caused by fibrous scar tissue proliferating under the penis' surface. If the scar tissue isn't treated correctly, it can make achieving an erection difficult, creating a painful curve that makes sex almost impossible. Sometimes, symptoms of Peyronie's disease can work themselves out but most often, men need treatment to regain a healthy sex life.
While having a curve in your penis is relatively normal, having pain and discomfort with an erection most certainly is not, and a good sign that you need help. Fortunately, GAINSWave therapy has helped many men regain their sexual performance by reducing the curvature of the penis caused by Peyronie's disease.
Men suffering from Peyronie's disease may notice an array of symptoms, which may manifest quickly or slowly. Some of the most common symptoms include:
Severe Bend of Penis: One of the most common symptoms of Peyronie's disease is significant bending of the penis in a certain direction, with or without achieving an erection.
If you're one of the many American men who has lost hope because of Peyronie's disease, there is a new reason to be hopeful. Peyronie's disease is treatable, and you don't have to rely on surgery, vacuum devices, or a wait-and-see approach to get results.
If you're a man searching for a safe, non-invasive, natural treatment option for Peyronie's disease, GAINSWave therapy is the way to go. GAINSWave incorporates premium low-intensity, high-frequency shockwaves that break down plaque (or scar tissue) while opening and creating new blood vessels. When blood flow is increased, the penis curvature associated with Peyronie's disease is often reduced, giving men a new chance to enjoy a healthy sex life.
In today's modern world, with health-centric social influencers and body biohackers around every corner, the bar is high for body optimization. Peak performance in the bedroom is no exception. Men of all ages across the nation are searching for a certain edge in the bedroom. They want longer endurance, stronger erections, and a more enhanced sexual experience with partners.
Even men in their 20s and 30s, with no medical conditions, are trying gas station erection pills, injections, penis pumps, and other dangerous products to supercharge their penis and performance. Luckily for them (and you), GAINSWave can provide a natural, long-term solution that adds extra spice to your sex life.
Many men find short-term satisfaction in taking pills for better erections, but the truth is, these drugs are harmful when used frequently or recreationally. Males who take these pills risk becoming psychologically dependent and unable to perform when they're not around. In fact, men without medical conditions who rely on “little blue pills” for sexual enhancement may not be able to achieve a normal erection with their partner.
If you want to enhance your sex life and improve your erection quality, it's time to consider a long-term, natural solution like GAINSWave from Alpha Med Group.
For strong erections, you need to have blood flow to your penis. There are plenty of natural ways you can boost blood flow and improve your sexual performance. Some options include exercising, eating healthy, and managing stress in productive ways. Foods that help increase blood flow can also help reduce inflammation in your body too. If you're a smoker, try lowering your daily cigarette intake and add supplements to your diet, like vitamin D.
But if you're looking to take things up a notch in the bedroom, GAINSWave is the way to go. This proven, non-invasive treatment helps produce better erections and boost libido by increasing blood flow to your penis and stimulating the growth of new nerve tissue and blood vessels.
At Alpha Med Group, our focus is on your goals, your results, and your experience. We firmly believe that your story matters and our team is ready and waiting to listen. We provide functional, personalized, regenerative medicines that address root causes, coupled with an industry-leading, progressive care strategy that is centered around our patients.

FLORIDA — Data published this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention points to a summer increase in COVID-19 cases in Florida and elsewhere around the country.
The data shows COVID-19 hospitalizations were up 12 percent nationwide, and that emergency room visits and test positivity also increased in what health officials say is the greatest spike in COVID hospitalizations since last winter. Independent laboratories have also noted an increase in COVID-19 test positivity, CNN reported.
Data from the Florida Health Department, posted Aug. 4 and current as of July 28, showed a steady increase in COVID-19 cases since the first week in June. The state had 15,170 cases, a 59 percent increase in the number of cases from the first of July to the end of the month.
Out of Florida's total population of 22.6 million, the CDC said there ae 67.0 cases for every 100,000 residents.
Summer travel outside usual social circles, record heat that keeps people indoors and waning immunity are possible reasons for the uptick in cases. CDC data shows the number of Americans who are up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccinations is decreasing, and health officials say the low number of cases means people aren't developing enough antibodies compared to previous infections.
The CDC said about 11 percent of Floridians, or 2.5 million people, have received an updated COVID booster vaccination. Importantly, the mild spike in cases is from an already low level of cases. Health experts expect the wave to be far less intense than in previous summers, and aren’t sure how long it will last.
Wastewater surveillance data suggests new COVID-19 cases are already leveling off, but much of the data public health officials have used to track trends was scaled back when the federal health emergency ended in May.
The last time so little data was available was in the early days of the pandemic, Caitlin Rivers, an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told CNN.
That makes it difficult to “know what lies ahead,” Rivers said. “So it may yet peter out.”
Rivers noted that it is encouraging the increase doesn’t appear to have been driven by the emergence of a new variant.
Some U.S. counties are seeing much higher rates of COVID-19 hospitalizations. Two counties in Texas saw a 250 percent increase with 14 new people hospitalized — a “high” rate given their small populations, according to the CDC classification.
Other areas with higher numbers of cases are in southeast Texas, northeastern Oregon, central Oklahoma, Hawaii County, and southern Nebraska, as well as in Mohave County, Arizona, and Colquitt County, Georgia.

FLORIDA — Leprosy cases are on the rise in Florida, according to a new analysis from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The disease is considered endemic, meaning it is regularly present in the region.
Also known as Hansen disease, the chronic infectious disease is caused by acid-fast rod Mycobacterium leprae, and primarily affects the skin and the peripheral nervous system.
While rare in the U.S., there’s been “a gradual increase” of the disease in recent years, the report said. In 2020, 159 cases were reported nationally with Florida among the states with the highest number of cases. And the number of cases in the Southeast has more than doubled.
In 2021, there were 14 cases reported in Florida, the majority of them - five of them - found in Brevard County. Single cases were also reported in Broward, Charlotte, Duval, Hillsborough, Okeechobee, Palm Beach, Polk, St. Johns and Seminole counties, according to the FHC website.
Cases were also found in California, Louisiana, Hawaii, New York and Texas in 2020.
About 34 percent of all new leprosy cases reported from 2015 to 2020 were locally acquired, rather than being connected to travel from areas known for the disease, the CDC said.
Several cases in Central Florida demonstrated no clear evidence of zoonotic exposure or traditionally known risk factors.
In one case, a 54-year-old central Florida man went to a dermatology clinic “for a painful and progressive erythematous rash,” the report said. The lesions first appeared on his hands before spreading to his face and body.
“He denied any domestic or foreign travel, exposure to armadillos, prolonged contact with immigrants from leprosy-endemic countries or connections with someone known to have leprosy. He has resided in central Florida his entire life, works in landscaping, and spends long periods of time outdoors,” the report said.
Biopsies confirmed had leprosy and he was treated by a specialist and prescribed a triple-therapy treatment under the direction of the national Hansen’s Disease Program.
The CDC said that further research into the transmission of the disease is warranted, based on analysis of recent cases.
Medical professionals in Florida are required to report leprosy cases in the state by the next business day. Contact tracing is used to identify sources and reduce transmission of the disease, the CDC said.

Habitat loss to development, overuse of pesticides, climate change and more light pollution contribute to the decline in fireflies in FL.FLORIDA — Fireflies should be lighting up Florida’s back yards, fields, marshes and forests soon — or will they?

FLORIDA — Fireflies should be lighting up Florida’s back yards, fields, marshes and forests soon — or will they? Sometimes called lightning bugs or glow worms, fireflies are disappearing around the country and worldwide.
“And if it continues, fireflies may fade forever, leaving our summer nights a little darker and less magical,” warns Firefly Conservation & Research, a nonprofit founded in 2009 by firefly researcher Ben Pfeiffer after he noticed fireflies were disappearing from southern Texas.
There are about 170 species of these so-called jewels of the night in North America, and although populations vary by region, they’re found in every U.S. state except Hawaii, according to the Brandywine Conservancy.
Not only is Florida home to 33 to 53 species of fireflies.
In dark areas near waterways with tall grasses, shrubs, or trees, you can spot Florida fireflies, says the University of Florida Extension Service. With increasing urbanization, there are fewer and fewer locations to view nature’s bioluminescent show.
Florida State Parks remain a haven for fireflies. Parks that offer camping or have firefly tours open to the public after sunset are a great place to look for fireflies in late spring and throughout summer.
Blue Spring State Park and Friends of Highlands Hammock State Park offer firefly tours annually, usually around March or April. Blue Spring’s firefly event is open for two weeks, varying in March and April, depending on the first firefly sightings of the season. This year the tour was a one-hour self-guided tour. In addition, guests could walk down the firefly trail to see nature’s light show. In the past, the Highland Hammock tours were offered as tram tours for a small entry fee, park admission was waived if you entered at sunset as a registered tram tour guest.
Habitat loss to development, overuse of pesticides, climate change and increased light pollution are behind the declining firefly populations, though some species are more at risk than others, according to the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of threatened species. Of 128 species considered for the Red List, 11 percent are threatened with extinction and 2 percent are near threatened.
Here’s what you can do to help keep the magic in summer nights:
Turn The Lights Down Low
Actually, to set the mood for fireflies, turn off porch lights and other outdoor lighting entirely. Scientists are still learning about firefly behavior, but it appears likely artificial lighting can disrupt fireflies’ flashes, which help them find mates and breed. Improve their chances by drawing blinds and curtains, so interior light doesn’t intrude on your yard.
Because fireflies thrive in standing water and marshy areas, create a water feature in your landscaping. Even a small pond or stream will attract fireflies.
Individuals can make a difference, but the greater power is in organizing a community-wide effort to allow a little wildness to prevail on their properties, according to Firefly Conservation & Research.
If You See Something, Say Something
Pfeiffer’s organization also recommends submitting sightings of fireflies to iNaturalist, which has apps at the App Store for iPhone users or Google Play for Android users. Firefly light organs are on the underside (ventral) of the firefly.
If possible, document the flash pattern — the interval of flashes per second — as well as the color of the flash, the date and time of night, the geographic location where the firefly was seen, and the type of habitat where the fireflies were seen.

A 2nd round of Disney layoffs are under way and will last through Thursday at the entertainment giant with parks in Florida and California.Deb Belt, Patch StaffORLANDO, FL — Thousands of Disney workers are being laid off this week in the entertainment giant's second round of mass layoffs this spring.The layoffs began Monday and will last through Thursday as part of the media company's previously announced plan to cut i...
Deb Belt, Patch Staff
ORLANDO, FL — Thousands of Disney workers are being laid off this week in the entertainment giant's second round of mass layoffs this spring.
The layoffs began Monday and will last through Thursday as part of the media company's previously announced plan to cut its workforce by 7,000 employees.
It's unclear if Florida employees will be affected. No WARN Notices from Disney show on the state's dashboard.
The cuts are expected to bring the number of jobs lost across the country to 4,000 according to media reports. The layoffs are not expected to affect hourly workers at Disney's theme parks and resorts.
A third and final wave of layoffs are expected in the beginning of summer and bring the total number of layoffs to around 7,000.
Disney had about 220,000 workers as of Oct. 1, about 160,000 of those in the United States. The job cuts amount to about 3 percent of the entertainment giant's global workforce and were announced after Disney reported quarterly results that topped Wall Street’s forecasts.
Disney began laying off thousands of workers at the end of March.
"The difficult reality of many colleagues and friends leaving Disney is not something we take lightly," Iger said in a memo to staff last month. "In tough moments, we must always do what is required to ensure Disney can continue delivering exceptional entertainment to audiences and guests around the world — now, and long into the future."
Disney's streaming competitors such as Netflix have been shedding hundreds of jobs since the summer. Tech giants such as Amazon, Apple, Twitter and Meta have laid off tens of thousands of employees in the last six months. Meta layoff announcements were rewarded by the stock market. Meta’s stock value surged 20 percent in the wake of its initial cost-cutting moves.
The possibility of layoffs at Disney seemed likely with Iger regaining his footing in the CEO's office following the surprise ouster of CEO Bob Chapek in November.
Iger sought to soften the blow in his memo to employees.
"This company is home to the most talented and dedicated employees in the world, and so many of you bring a lifelong passion for Disney to your work here," he wrote. "That’s part of what makes working at Disney so special. It also makes it all the more difficult to say goodbye to wonderful people we care about."

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Flamethrowers and live ammunition exploding in a Northdale home engulfed in flames sent firefighters running for cover on Monday night.
Crews responded to 16311 Norwood Dr. just after 7 p.m. Monday after a neighbor called 911 after smelling smoke and seeing flames coming from the house next door.
Hillsborough County Fire Rescue firefighters had to duck for cover as explosions started going off in the home.
As firefighters went into the home, they had to get out when they realized it wasn't safe.
According to the Hillsborough County arrest log, a man was arrested at a house nearby on unrelated charges. Patrick "Pat" O'Brien, 53, was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail on Monday night and charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling with assault and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. He is being held with no bond at this time. O'Brien is the lead guitarist for the death metal band Cannibal Corpse. O'Brien lived at the Norwood home where the fire started, according to deputies.
Death metal guitarist arrested for breaking into Northdale home, running toward deputy with knife
"Very scary, I was thinking 'my house it’s going to go if they don’t hurry up and get here' but they saved our house and we don’t have any damage or anything," neighbor Tammy Lay said.
On Tuesday morning, deputies moved news crews back 300 feet and evacuated six homes around the house because of "something that's inside the home."
Hillsborough Fire is investigating the scene and working to determine a cause of the fire.
ABC Action News' Kelly Bazzle and Sean O'Reilly contributed to this report.
