As a new year rolls around, we hear the saying “New Year, New You” and have high hopes of whittling our waistlines in hope of becoming “healthier” after a stressful previous year. Beyond the waistline, there is a more complex matrix to creating a healthy lifestyle which involves not only physical health, but mental and emotional health supported by a care team of experts.
We recognize for many men, the words “going to the doctor” may not be top of the priority list. And whether the root cause of this resistance is fueled by inconvenience, the immortality complex, denial, or comfort level, the consequences lead to premature illnesses and preventable health issues. According to the Wall Street Journal, men are more inclined to engage in risky behavior than women and 31% will only go to the doctor if they are extremely sick. The data is clear that men live shorter lifespans that women and are predisposed to a wide range of health issues, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and suicide. The need to support men’s health is essential.
While the phrase “living a healthy lifestyle” means something different to each person, our team of experts believes it’s a combination of preventative healthcare paired with focus on the physical, mental, social, and emotional. Our goal at Tulio Health is to meet men where they are in their journey, listen to their needs, and create a customized approach where we can address men’s health needs in once place with a trusted care team.
So now, with a new year upon us, the opportunity for change sits right in front of you. We encourage you to connect with a team that will support your needs so that you can fully trust the process. The goals are yours and, regardless of age, it is never too late to create a more perfect version of you.
