June is Men’s Health Month, and it’s a great time to focus on something that often gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list – your health.
Whether it’s for yourself or for the men you care about, Men’s Health Month is a reminder that regular check-ins with a primary care provider matter. A yearly wellness visit isn’t just about checking boxes. It’s a chance to ask questions, stay on top of screenings, and catch potential problems early, when they’re often easier to treat.
Primary Care Visits – What to Expect
At an annual visit, your provider will:
- Review your medical history
- Talk through any health concerns
- Look at things like
- Blood pressure
- Cholesterol
- Weight
- Lifestyle habits
It's also a good time to review your vaccination status and make sure you're up to date.
The Importance of Prevention and Management
Many health conditions that impact men, like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers, can be prevented or managed with the right care and lifestyle choices.
That’s why we also talk about what’s happening between appointments:
- Staying active
- Eating well
- Managing stress
- Knowing when to slow down
