Take Charge: Practical Steps for Better Men’s Health
This episode walks you through the essential screenings and daily habits men should prioritize to prevent disease and feel better long term. It matters because many men delay care until symptoms are serious, but early attention to preventive care can change outcomes. Guest Dr. Kevin Ryan, board-certified Internal Medicine physician with Prisma Health, explains which preventive screenings to schedule, how to monitor blood pressure and cholesterol, and when to check testosterone levels. Learn actionable tips on heart disease prevention, mental health, colon cancer screening, and building a realistic exercise and diet plan.
