Shocking Truths Every Man Over 40 Needs to Know About Their Health! 1. Heart Disease: The Silent Killer Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for men over 40. The risk factors, including hypertension, high cholesterol, and smoking, can silently creep up, making regular screenings and a heart-healthy lifestyle critical (Cleveland Clinic) (Mayo Clinic). 2. The Cancer Risk You Can’t Ignore Prostate cancer and other types, such as colon and lung cancer, become more prevalent with age. Regular screenings and early detection are lifesaving measures (Mayo Clinic). 3. Diabetes: The Stealthy Saboteur Type 2 diabetes rates surge after 40, leading to severe complications like cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, and kidney failure. A balanced diet and regular exercise are vital preventive strategies (Mayo Clinic). 4. Obesity: A Growing Threat Weight gain, especially around the abdomen, significantly increases the risk of several chronic diseases. Maintaining a healthy weight through proper nutrition and physical activity is essential for preventing obesity-related conditions (Mayo Clinic). 5. Mental Health: The Hidden Struggle Depression and anxiety often emerge or worsen in midlife, exacerbated by stress and health issues. These mental health challenges can deeply affect overall well-being and require proactive management (Cleveland Clinic) (Mayo Clinic). 6. Erectile Dysfunction: A Warning Sign ED is not just about sexual health; it can indicate underlying conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Addressing this issue often involves tackling broader health problems (Cleveland Clinic).

As an advisor to Ingeni Health, I am happy to announce a partnership between Ingeni and the Get Fit Obesity Clinic in Dallas, TX, to improve metabolic health, including obesity and diabetes care. Ingeni is a healthcare and AI startup that integrates and analyzes key factors determining healthy longevity. It provides insights about improving and optimizing one’s health, using MY DATA, which combines 60 plus wearables providing lifestyle data that includes sleep, physical activity, FDA-approved blood pressure monitors, Continuous Glucose Monitors, blood glucose meters, and much more daily health information, including diet. You may ask how the picture below relates to the announcement. Well, it's personal to me. I have struggled with obesity since first grade. I felt ashamed and refused to be in pictures for most of my life. Having a picture of my daughter and me at Dartmouth's Parents' Weekend was something I never imagined. I know my kids are smart, but losing weight seemed impossible. But here I am, a living testament that change is possible, and I hope my journey can inspire you as we embark on this new partnership. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I hit 50, which caused the onset of glaucoma and other comorbidities. I tried everything: running 7 miles daily, personal trainers, and calorie restriction. Three years ago, I began losing weight by slowly changing my diet. I was fortunate to have Brooke Schneid as my nutritionist. About two years ago, my primary care doctor recommended I start taking Mounjaro. I started at 268 lbs and am currently 5'4" and 110 lbs! It was not easy, but I am grateful for the support and guidance I received from Brooke, Mounjaro, and my moderate exercise routines That's why I am excited about the efforts of Ian McNeill at Ingeni Health and Manohar Vajja, the CEO of the Get Fit Obesity Clinic. Their efforts will result in outcomes and more pictures like mine. #HealthJourney #ObesityAwareness #DiabetesCare #HealthyLiving #GetFit #IngeniHealth #WeightLossSuccess #Inspiration #Partnership #MetabolicHealth #Longevity #MyData #WellnessJourney #SupportAndGuidance. https://lnkd.in/ekNidJmq https://lnkd.in/ekNidJmq

John, Director of Integrated Wellness, on Testosterone Therapy For years, studies linking Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) to negative cardiovascular events and prostate cancer have fueled fear and hesitation in both patients and doctors. But here’s the truth: those studies have been retracted due to flawed methodologies and inaccuracies. Despite this, many doctors are still unaware of these retractions and continue to caution patients based on outdated information. This misinformation has prevented countless men from seeking the treatment they need to optimize their health and improve their quality of life. When prescribed responsibly, TRT has been shown to support heart health, improve bone density, enhance mood, and more. It’s time to move past the myths and focus on the science. At Integrated Wellness, we stay up-to-date on the latest research to ensure you get evidence-based, effective care. Don’t let old misconceptions hold you back. #IntegratedWellness #TestosteroneReplacementTherapy #TRT #MensHealth #Longevity #HormoneOptimization #CardiovascularHealth #ProstateHealth #TRTMisconceptions #HealthAdvocacy #ModernMedicine #WellnessMatters #HormoneBalance #HealthyLiving #ScienceBasedMedicine #TRTEducation

Every one of us knows a loved one affected by diabetes, but it is time we asked them: “Do you know what Diabetic Retinopathy is?” The lack of awareness about Diabetic Retinopathy among patients is a global concern. There is hope - through learning, sharing, and building communities of health professionals, we can come together to solve this problem by taking eye screening to the last mile. Remidio is excited to create awareness and build communities empowered with knowledge through Orbis Cybersight’s webinar on “Transforming Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Globally through Innovative Technologies.” Dr. Sobha Sivaprasad, Ophthalmologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, will explore models for Diabetic Retinopathy screenings, focusing on enhancing local health systems and addressing barriers. The goal is to triage high-risk patients and implement predictive models for effective prevention programs."

#Endometriosis is complex…even pronouncing it is challenging. A panel discussion for an hour is never enough to get to the meat of the issue. My passion is personal and mainly because I cannot imagine younger girls suffering in silence and their diagnosis delayed. Like many women with endometriosis, my journey has been fraught with challenges and pain. I underwent four surgeries, which resulted in the loss of my ovaries and the ability to conceive naturally. This aspect of my story shares a painful echo with Njambi Koikai’s battle against thoracic endometriosis, a fight she tragically did not survive. Our experiences are not isolated incidents but are reflective of a broader issue in healthcare—endometriosis is often underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and not taken as seriously as it should be. This disease can lead to severe, life-altering consequences, and yet, it does not receive the attention it demands. Njambi’s death and my own surgical history represent the extreme consequences of these systemic failures. Both of us endured more than what should have been necessary, pointing to a dire need for change. The preventable nature of our struggles illustrates a critical lapse in healthcare systems worldwide—a lack of early detection, timely intervention, and comprehensive care. These gaps persist despite the prevalence of the disease and its significant impact on individuals’ health and quality of life. Through sharing our stories, we advocate not just for ourselves, but for the millions of other women and individuals assigned female at birth who suffer in silence. Our stories are a call to action: for better research, more informed medical training, effective treatments, and a healthcare system that prioritizes the timely, empathetic, and competent treatment of endometriosis. We didn’t choose this path, but we can forge a new one for future generations, ensuring that no one else has to endure the hardships we faced. Let’s unite in transforming our pain into a catalyst for change, making endometriosis care a priority in global health agendas. Endometriosis Foundation of Kenya Charles Muteshi

The evidence base for lifestyle in multiple sclerosis has been growing in recent years and we can now see that positive lifestyle choices by people with MS can:  - prevent relapse,   - promote and preserve brain function,   - slow disease progression,   - improve symptoms and efficacy of treatment,   - provide hope, support self-management and increase quality of life whilst reducing burden on healthcare services.* We've been pulling together this broader picture of evidence in MS to show where the lifestyle interventions we advocate for - the OMS Program - fit into it, as well as to understand where the evidence is mixed or inconclusive and we need to understand more.
