Dr. Rob King, an integrative men’s health physician joins me to discuss a wide range of conditions affecting men. He shares his innovative and effective treatment approaches for some common and not so common health issues. He also discusses the importance of disease prevention and shares his top strategies for doing so. Men aren’t always the most focused on their health, however, I hope after this episode you will be inspired to take control of your own health and make positive changes to improve it.

Dr. Ron Ehrlich: Hello and welcome to “Unstress” where we explore what stresses us as an individual and the planet as you all know the two are inseparable. This is Dr. Ron Ehrlich. We've covered issues surrounding women's health and I believe that's actually relevant to men as much as women because as you're a man there's a very good chance there will be some significant female in your life. Partner, mother, sister, daughter, family or friends. So, gaining an understanding of women's health is important to understand each other better. A worthy goal if ever there was one.

Children's health is interesting too even if you don't have kids because kids are really the Canaries in the coal mine and things are not looking that good. So, today our subject is men's health. And of course, for women out there stay tuned for all the reasons we wanted men focused on the subject of women's health. Just filling in the pieces of the puzzle here.

Men aren't always has focused on their health as they should be and certainly not as focused as women are, but needless to say, it's very important and it might actually be one reason why women live a longer life. It may be. It's a function of that focus on health. My guest today is Dr. Rob King an integrative men's health physician who as you will hear delivers innovative and effective treatment approaches for some common and not so common health issues. As well as and importantly involved with the disease prevention strategies.

Now it's interesting because Rob is an integrative practitioner. And yes, this is a recurring theme and is a common denominator for many of my guests. Why? Because as an integrative practitioner as much as possible they look for and then treat the cause of a health problem rather than suppress a particular symptom. And that can have far-reaching effects on other health problems within the same person. Thinking holistically the cause is often multifactorial with biochemistry nutrition, microbiology, psychology. All playing important roles. He also integrates the central role of the guard. Another recurring theme on a whole range of common conditions and diseases and men's health is no different some of which today it was news to me I must admit. We covered quite a bit of territory here. Some things I was entirely unfamiliar with and others that have affected me personally. I hope you enjoyed this conversation I had with Dr. Rob King.

Welcome to the show Rob.

Dr. Rob King: Thank you very much, Ron.

Dr. Ron Ehrlich: Now Rob, men's health. As a man and knowing many men we don't often give as much thought to it as we should. What are some of the things that come into your practice that distinguish? What is tell us about your practice first of all and how you got into this?

Dr. Rob King: Okay, so, I started my training in sexual medicine and during my training, I found out about this new specialty. So, this happened about 15 years ago of men's health. So, it's already interesting to note that we've always talked about women's health for a very long time and yet mental health has been having been largely ignored. So, this new specialty that was really driven from Eu...
