Clever calls me bhuti. Day in and day out, 5am in the morning, he punches my fist and says, morning, bhuti.

Another half hour, my sweat is everywhere around us, and Clever smiles and takes my fists, unties my wraps and says, sharp, bhuti. This is something my mom used to call me, when I was a kid. I grew up in Durban, we had a domestic worker who called me “bhuti Tom”, and there’s been something intimate, something familiar,

Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore is a narrow, mile-long thoroughfare lined with boutiques like Chanel, Prada, and Cartier. It's the most fashionable street in Paris, the most fashionable place on earth. It's where travel budgets go to die (happily). On a vacation with my wife last fall, I landed in the street's Hermes flagship store. Ordinarily I'm a frugal guy. My purchases are largely utilitarian. But I'd just capped off a banner year at work, and it felt empowering to waltz into one of Paris's most exclusive boutiques to treat myself to a bonus in the form of a $200 necktie.I spent half an hour perusing the color-coordinated wall of neckwear, settling on a fiery-red pattern stamped

Doug InglishColton HaynesThe San Andreas star on the film, his crazy past, and style.The Guy He’s come a long way since leaving his family’s farm in Kansas as a teen. Modeling gigs with Abercrombie & Fitch, among others, led to roles on TV shows like MTV’s Teen Wolf and then Arrow, in which Haynes plays a superhero sidekick. His big break came when he got to play opposite Dwayne Johnson in this summer’s earthquake disaster flick, San Andreas. As Joby, a rookie member of an elite helicopter rescue crew, Haynes found himself rappelling from and hanging out of helicopters for much of the filming. “They had a whole team that taught us how to rappel, and we did rock climbing as well.

Mike SimoneThe Tour de FoxA nationwide expedition to find a cure for Parkinson's disease.On June 2nd, Sam Fox, an extreme athlete with a big vision, will be biking and hiking across the United States. Although it wouldn’t surprise us that Sam would do something like this for kicks, there’s so much more behind his future endeavor.  Sam’s mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2000. And as you can imagine, it was a devastating blow to him and his loved ones. But unfortunate events didn’t send Sam into a negative spiral. In the past, Sam has run from NYC to the Hamptons in 24 hours. He’s also run the Pacific Crest trail, a grueling feat from Canada to Mexico, all to raise money for cutting-edge research.

Maybe all it needs is a little gas to run right. The case of the month is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic. He came into the office the day before I left town to lecture to endocrinologists from around the country about novel ways to increase testosterone in men at their annual meeting in Nashville. The T Patient “Doc, I’m kinda down about things at this point,” he begins. “I wasn’t feeling right so I got checked out and my T (testosterone) was low. I was started on T shots every other week, a couple of months ago and it has not been fun. I think it’s helping but it’s such a damn hassle to get the shots in the office all of the
