Men’s Health Matters

General health encompasses several lifestyle factors, including regular physical activity, a healthy diet, adequate sleep, stress management, and social interaction.

At Luna Acupuncture, we get address the root of the dysfunction for long term health benefits. Clinically we’ve seen improvement in lifestyle and quality of living so that our patients can get back to what they love doing!

We’re addressing the top 3 complaints

Dietary supplements can also be used to address nutrient needs and prevent some of the common health issues men encounter, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Men’s nutritional needs change throughout their lifespan, meaning nutritional supplementation should be used based on different age groups.  

The top 3 Complaints in Men’s Health

At Luna Acupuncture, our patients come in with these top 3 complaints – often in combination

  1. Fatigue/low energy in the afternoon
    • Trouble waking up, afternoon crashes, decreased motivation, brain fog.
      • Often linked to stress, poor sleep, hormone imbalances (like low testosterone), nutritional deficiencies, or overworking.
  2. Low libido/ sexual dysfunction/ prostate issues
    • This shows up as low desire, poor performance, inability to properly urinate

    • This can show up as insomnia, irritability, withdrawal, tension headaches and problems with digestion
      • There is a lot of pressure put on men in society today, whether its due to work performance, financial obligations or supporting a family
  4. Pain
    • The list is long here, but back pain and knee pain are the most common complaints
      • Can be due to injury/trauma, overuse, degenerative issues, inflammatory processes in the body

How Luna Acupuncture Supports Men’s Health

Men often put their health on the back burner until something feels “off.” Whether it’s low energy, stress, or sexual performance concerns, acupuncture offers a safe, effective, and natural way to restore balance and vitality.

1. Boosts Energy & Reduces Fatigue

Chronic fatigue can stem from burnout, poor sleep, hormonal shifts, or overwork.
Acupuncture works by:

  • Regulating the nervous system (especially the parasympathetic “rest and restore” response)
  • Improving sleep quality
  • Enhancing circulation and nutrient delivery
  • Supporting adrenal function and stress hormone balance

Many men report feeling more focused and energized .


 2. Improves Sexual Health & Hormonal Balance

Low libido and erectile dysfunction aren’t just physical — they’re often tied to blood flow, stress, and hormonal changes.
Acupuncture helps by:

  • Increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs
  • Reducing cortisol (stress hormone) levels, which can suppress testosterone
  • Supporting the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis for natural hormone production
  • Enhancing overall vitality and confidence

3. Relieves Stress, Anxiety & Irritability

Mental health is just as important as physical health — and often overlooked in men.
Acupuncture helps regulate mood by:

  • Calming the nervous system and reducing “fight-or-flight” activation
  • Boosting endorphins and serotonin (natural mood enhancers)
  • Improving sleep, which directly impacts emotional resilience
  • Reducing tension that may show up as headaches, tight shoulders, or digestive upset

Even men who are skeptical at first often leave feeling deeply relaxed after treatments.

Lycopene

Lycopene is a plant pigment found in foods such as tomato, guava, pink grapefruit, apricots, and watermelon. Dietary intake of lycopene in the US is primarily obtained from tomatoes or tomato sauces, soups, and other tomato products. Many of these are processed or commercially made foods such as ketchup and don’t necessarily have high nutritional value overall. Research suggests that dietary intake of lycopene is associated with a lower risk of developing prostate cancer and an improvement of cardiovascular risk factors, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Lycopene supplements may be considered for prevention of chronic health conditions, including heart disease and certain cancers.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential mineral involved in numerous physiological processes, including immune health and hormone production. Zinc supplementation is used to treat infections, including the flu, common cold, urinary tract infections, and lower respiratory tract infections. Zinc supplementation has also been found to benefit male fertility by increasing sperm count and testosterone levels. In men, seminal fluid zinc levels are correlated with sperm count and regular sperm structure. Zinc supplementation may show promise for male infertility treatment.
