Dan.
All right, we've got an excitingepisode here for you today as
June is Men's Health Month, sowe're going to take a look at it
from a couple of differentangles here.
But first off, let's start outwith you, John, and what's the
significance of Men's HealthMonth, and why is it important
to spotlight men's healthspecifically?
SPEAKER_00 (00:58):
Men's Health Month is observed every June, and it's
a national awareness campaignaimed at improving the health
and well-being of men and boys.
The significant lies are shininga light on preventable health
problems and encouraging earlydetection and treatment of
diseases amongst males.
SPEAKER_01 (01:18):
And while we're talking to you here, John, can
you tell us a little bit aboutyour program, specifically the
Men's Health Program at PublicHealth, and what type of
activities do you guys do tohelp men out?
SPEAKER_00 (01:29):
We actually have an event coming up in July, July
19th, and we'll be sharing moreinformation on that in the near
future.
And it's about raising awarenessof men's health issues.
As you may know, men are morelikely than women to delay
medical care, ignoring symptomsand skipping preventative
screenings.
So we're trying to bringattention to that, you know, to
(01:51):
avoid some of these chronicdiseases such as heart disease,
prostate cancer, testicularcancer, diabetes, and mental
health.
SPEAKER_01 (02:00):
And since you mentioned the event on the 19th,
if anyone's listening now, thisis a July 19th, 2025.
And that information is onPublic Health's website at
phdmc.org.
If you go to events, you canfind all the information there.
It's basically going to be atthe West Town Shopping Center,
(02:23):
correct?
SPEAKER_00 (02:24):
That is correct.
SPEAKER_01 (02:25):
Okay.
What's the time that that'sgoing to run?
SPEAKER_00 (02:29):
It's going to run from 11 a.m.
to 3 p.m.
And we'll be having freescreenings out there.
So any minute they can hearthis, come on out.
SPEAKER_01 (02:37):
All right, that sounds good.
And again, follow us on socialmedia and check out our website
for more information about thatspecific event.
But we want to talk about men'shealth in general and some of
the issues that men may have.
So we want to bring in Dr.
Thomas here.
And Dr.
Thomas, can you tell us aboutsome of the common men's health
(03:02):
issues that they may have?
SPEAKER_03 (03:05):
Yeah, thanks, Dan.
Two of the biggest threats tomen's health and the top causes
of death in men have no earlysymptoms.
And so they're often overlooked.
And the first one is heartdisease.
Half of men in the United Stateshave high blood pressure, which
is the biggest risk factor forheart disease.
(03:25):
And it usually has no symptoms,which is why it's called the
silent killer.
And the second threat to men'shealth and the second cause of
decadent is cancer.
Some of the cancers that mostoften affect men are prostate,
colorectal cancer, lung cancer,and skin cancers.
Mental health issues are anotheroften overlooked health problem.
(03:49):
Men are less likely to seek helpfor mental health issues like
depression and anxiety, despitethe fact that they experience
them at similar rates as womendo.
SPEAKER_01 (04:00):
And you mentioned a lot of things there that Early
detection can really be the keyin helping combat those
illnesses.
But unfortunately, men tend toavoid regular checkups and tend
to not seek medical care enough.
What are some of the things wecan do to change men's mindset?
SPEAKER_03 (04:24):
Well, you're right, Dan.
Men are less likely to attendregular checkups and screenings
compared to women.
And we've been looking atreasons why this is so for a
long time.
And one thing that has beenfound is that men tend to focus
on the health of everyone elsebut themselves.
In fact, four out of 10 menprioritize the health of their
(04:44):
pet over their own health.
Other reasons why men may not goto the doctor is they may feel
it's a sign of weakness.
They may be afraid of what theymight learn if they go in and
have a physical exam or haveblood work done, or they may
think they can't afford to taketime off work for medical
appointments.
(05:04):
But really, it's important tomake time for your wellness.
And if you don't make time foryour wellness, then things catch
up with you and you end up beingforced to make time for
sickness.
And so it's really important tofind and establish care with a
health care provider, with adoctor, Trust what they're
telling you and you feel thatyou can have a good conversation
(05:28):
with.
So someone that you can see forboth routine care and then also
when you're sick or injured.
Those regular checkups are superimportant.
It's never too late to startroutine screenings.
But the sooner that you start tomanage your health with annual
physicals, the better off you'regoing to be.
SPEAKER_01 (05:49):
So it's about setting up a routine, building
that relationship with yourhealth care provider who can
help guide you through the stepsyou need to take to stay
healthy.
You mentioned screenings.
What are some of the ages thatmen are recommended for some of
the more critical screenings?
SPEAKER_03 (06:10):
First, I talk about heart disease.
I mentioned that's the numberone killer of men.
Most men should start gettingsome screening tests and risk
assessments for heart diseasearound age 18.
That may sound very young, butsome things start to happen.
Our body starts to change whenwe're young.
(06:30):
And you may not have anysymptoms, but you may be
starting to see some effectsfrom high blood pressure and
other things that you don'trealize unless you get them
checked.
So starting around 18, youshould be having regular
checkups that include anassessment of the risk factors
for heart disease, likemeasuring your blood pressure
(06:51):
and making sure that you're at ahealthy weight.
Then when you're around age 35,you start having blood tests for
additional things like highcholesterol and blood sugar to
make sure that you're not havingthose things develop and
contribute to your risk forheart disease.
For cancer, it's very importantto get early screening.
(07:14):
And again, when we talk aboutscreening, we're talking about
looking for things that areaffecting your health and
finding them early so that youcan have a better outcome.
When to start screening forcancer and how frequently you
need those tests depends upon alot of different risk factors,
including your family history ofcancer, how old you are,
(07:36):
sometimes race is a factor.
It's important for you to meetwith a doctor and discuss all of
those things to find out whenscreening should begin for you.
SPEAKER_01 (07:49):
So screening is important and doing it early so
that you have time to make theadjustments that you need to
reduce your risk for whateverdisease you might be concerned
about.
And a lot of the ways that wecan manage all of that is
through lifestyle and thingsthat we do and how that affects
(08:09):
our overall health.
So can you tell us a little bitabout some lifestyle things that
people might want to payattention to?
SPEAKER_03 (08:16):
the most important behaviors that contribute to
heart disease are known as thebig four.
And we talk about the big four.
We're talking about diet,exercise, smoking or not
smoking, and harmful use ofalcohol.
So those four things contributeto heart disease.
When we pay attention to thosefour things and make healthy
(08:39):
choices, then We can live longerand enjoy life to the fullest as
we age.
So men want to make sure thatthey're eating a healthy diet
with lots of fruits, vegetables,whole grains, high fiber foods,
limiting processed foods likefast foods, making sure that
they're staying very active.
(09:00):
Ideally, Men should exercise 150minutes a week of moderate
intensity exercise.
That would be like walking orriding a bicycle or 75 minutes
of more vigorous aerobicactivity.
And that could be like joggingthat's over spread throughout
(09:20):
the week.
But for men who are not activeat all, moving even a little
bit, even 10 minutes a day forsomebody who's inactive can
reduce their risk of a heartattack.
And other things that men can doare to avoid smoking, avoid
exposure to other people who aresmoking, because we know that
(09:41):
that secondhand smoke can beharmful, to limit alcohol
consumption, to make sure tomanage their stress, because
stress can contribute to thingslike heart disease and high
blood pressure and mental healthproblems, and then to make sure
to stay safe.
And that means doing things likeusing a seatbelt when you're in
(10:05):
a car, wearing a helmet whenyou're on a bike or a
motorcycle, and making sure evenstay safe when you're in the sun
with using sunscreen.
SPEAKER_01 (10:16):
Well, you gave us a lot to think about there, and we
want to bring John Payne back inhere from Public Health's Men's
Health Program.
And John, you're all aboutproviding information to the men
in Montgomery County andconnecting them with resources.
I know you have a great men'shealth checklist available.
It's on our website atphdmc.org.
(10:38):
You also have it available atyour events.
Tell us a little bit about someof the ways you work to connect
with men and connect them toresources.
SPEAKER_00 (10:46):
Well, we show up at a lot of different events in the
community as a vendor.
So we'll have our information onhand when we do that.
And we also do some things hereat Public Health where, you
know, the guys can come out andget the information from us at
any time.
We have a fatherhood programhere as well.
And with our fatherhood program,we try to make sure that the men
(11:08):
in our program know about takingcare of their health.
Some of the things that thedoctor just mentioned, you know,
eating habits, exercising, andjust make sure that they're
taking care of themselves sothey can take care of their
families.
SPEAKER_01 (11:22):
That sounds great.
And again, if you want to get intouch with John, you can give us
a call here at 225-5700, and wecan connect you with his
program.
All of his information is alsoavailable on the website at
phdmc.org.
So after this is over with, weencourage you to go over there
and check that out.
Before we wrap it up here, Dr.
(11:43):
Thomas, we want to talk a littlebit about some major
misconceptions in men's health.
Right now, there's a lot of Talkon social media and a lot of
misinformation on social mediaand flat out wrong information
on social media.
And there's a lot of myths outthere as well that kind of feed
into some of the thoughtprocesses that men may have.
(12:05):
And we want to try to touch onsome of those.
You have a couple of the mythsthat you want to dispel for us
right now.
SPEAKER_03 (12:12):
Sure, to talk about a couple of those.
One myth is that more men diefrom prostate cancer than any
other cancer.
Well, it's true that prostatecancer is the most common cancer
in men.
Lung cancer is actually theleading cause of cancer deaths
in men and women in the UnitedStates.
(12:34):
So you want to make sure and getscreening for all kinds of
cancer.
And if you are Someone whosmokes or has a history of
smoking, that you talk to yourdoctor about ways to quit and
screening for lung cancer sothat should you have that, you
can get early treatment and havea better life.
(12:56):
chance of having a healthyoutcome.
Another myth that is out thereis that men don't need to see a
doctor for checkups untilthey're middle age or older.
And the truth is that routinecheckups are important for men
of all ages.
Even if you feel healthy and youdon't need one.
(13:17):
Checkups are an important timeto screen for cancers and do
blood work to see how your liverand your kidneys and your other
organs are functioning.
But screening Seeing yourprimary care doctor is not just
about screening.
It's about forming that trustedrelationship with somebody that
can help you all throughout yourlife.
(13:37):
That's somebody who can answeryour questions and be a trusted
source of information so thatwhen you see some of these myths
on social media, you havesomeone to go to that you trust
for information that you can useto so that you can meet your
(13:58):

Before we end this, Dr.

to people, not just men, butanybody, to start improving
(14:25):
their health immediately, whatcould they do?
SPEAKER_03 (14:28):
The single best thing that I would recommend
that men or anyone do for theirhealth is to prioritize regular
physical activity.
So get active.
Regular exercise improves yourheart health.
It helps you maintain a healthyweight, and it's going to going
to reduce the risk of chronicdiseases like diabetes and heart
(14:51):
disease.
