Description
Men’s health and the importance of having a regular primary health care practitioner
Today we speak to GP Dr Lloyd about all things men. So when should a man start having regular checkups?
According to Dr Lloyd, “No set age but the sooner the better. “
Men and women are different, women have time points in their lives where they have to see a GP such as hormonal changes, childbearing, breast checks etc. but for men it is different and often health is treated like firefighting. Men just go to the Dr when they have a fire that needs putting out. In this episode we look at why starting earlier is a better option for men, the health system, and their loved ones.
Dr Lloyd says:
“So medicine's complicated, it's fascinating, but it just shows how one thing, one issue needs a whole wider approach, not just deal with the problem, and brush under the carpet and move on. I think that's what guys do wrongly, isn't it? They'll see a GP; we call it firefighting. So, you quickly put that fire out, and actually, there's an inferno going on behind. So yeah, it's complicated and that's the beauty of medicine.”
He also suggests a great read by Caitlin Moran called “What About Men?” which I have since read and is great.
Finally, we talk about his recent trigger to look after his own health.
Lloyd has decided to open a new clinic called Man Health to offer a slightly different approach to assisting men in their long-term health goals, listen to this episode to find out more.
Hopefully this episode will get you motivated to see a primary health practitioner for regular overhaul and tune up if you haven’t already.
