    ]]>     Men's Health Month Bob Brooks 00:26:41 In this enlightening episode of Public Health Matters, host Laurie Fox sits down with Mike Leventhal to dive deep into critical issues surrounding men’s health—a topic that too often flies under the radar. Together, they unpack the stigma around mental health, exploring how outdated gender norms and societal expectations can prevent men from seeking the help they need. Mike shares insight into why many men are hesitant to go to the doctor, often delaying care until symptoms become severe. He and Laurie discuss the cultural and emotional barriers that contribute to this reluctance and explore potential solutions to overcome them. Listeners will walk away with practical tips for getting and staying healthy—from building a solid relationship with a healthcare provider, to incorporating small, sustainable changes in daily habits, to breaking the silence around mental health. Whether you're a man looking to take charge of your health or someone who cares about one, this episode offers valuable advice, encouragement, and a reminder: taking care of your health is a sign of strength, not weakness. Key Topics: 1. Stigma and silence: Why mental health remains taboo for many men 2. The “invincibility” myth and its impact on preventive care 3. Actionable strategies for improving physical and mental well-being 4. The importance of normalizing doctor visits and check-ups Tune in and take the first step toward healthier living—for yourself or the men in your life.
