June is National Men’s Health Month, and Dr. Steven Conroy of Boost Performance and Longevity Center is encouraging men to take charge of their health through early intervention and personalized care.
What major health issues do men face today, and how do you address them?
Heart disease remains the top killer of U.S. men and strikes hardest when paired with metabolic syndrome. The first line of defense is aggressive cardiometabolic screening, Mediterranean-leaning, high-protein nutrition, structured resistance/interval training, sleep-stress optimization, and supporting mental and emotional well-being. Testosterone deficiency, prostate cancer, and sexual wellness concerns require early screening and proactive care.
Why is early preventative care so important for men?
Too often, men live by the belief that “if I feel fine, I must be fine.” By intervening early and decisively, we can shift the trajectory toward longer, healthier lives.
How does functional and integrative medicine improve men’s health?
It offers a personalized, root-cause approach to health—addressing underlying imbalances driving fatigue, weight gain, low libido, or mood issues.
What simple advice would you give men for a healthier lifestyle?
Get proactive checkups, fuel your body with whole foods, move with purpose, prioritize sleep, and don’t ignore mental health.
