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:

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.
