As we get older we get wiser, so the saying goes.

This year Patrick is turning 40 and is recognising his brain have lots of thoughts about what that might mean.

With that in mind, he invited a previous guest and expert in men's health for guys over 40 to discuss how men can take better care of themselves as they age graciously (or not), it's none other than Craig Spear of The Spear Method.

In episode 158 of The Alcohol ReThink podcast, Patrick and Craig dive deep into the often-overlooked topic of shame and its profound effect on men's health.

They stress how crucial it is to have open conversations and to share emotions as a way to combat shame. This isn't just about feeling better—shame can seriously mess with body image and block progress in fitness and health goals.

They also talk about the critical role sleep plays in overall health. Poor sleep can mess with your emotions, leading to fatigue and unhealthy habits.

They also look at how men’s values often shift as they hit their 40s. This decade is a pivotal time for men's health, with natural declines like decreased testosterone and muscle mass becoming more prominent.

Patrick and Craig make a compelling case for why it’s vital to prioritize physical and mental well-being during this stage of life. They highlight how the health choices made now can shape future wellness.

Their advice? Tackle health changes with patience and gradual progress, focusing on one area at a time. They also underscore how managing mental health can create a positive ripple effect, boosting relationships, confidence, energy, productivity, and creativity.

This is a conversation packed with insights on how to navigate the challenges of men’s health in your 40s, emphasizing the importance of small, consistent changes and the power of a healthy mind.
