Breaking the Stigma: Men Seeking Healthcare

The Reluctance Men Face in Seeking Medical HelpIn this episode of Real Men Feel, host Andy Grant opens up about his recent experience with abdominal surgery to repair an umbilical hernia, which he believes was exacerbated by a bungee jump earlier in the year. He discusses the reluctance many men have in seeking medical help, attributing it to factors like fear of appearing weak, social conditioning, and time prioritization. Citing a CDC report, Andy highlights the alarming statistics regarding men's health visits and encourages men to prioritize their health by getting regular check-ups and addressing symptoms early.00:00 Welcome to Real Men Feel00:36 My Abdominal Surgery Story01:48 The Bungee Jump Incident02:21 The Metallica Concert Dilemma03:03 Post-Surgery Reflections03:40 Why Men Avoid Medical Help05:18 The Importance of Early Detection05:35 Conclusion and Self-CareResourcesMen's Health Timeline -- https://www.wayneunc.org/wellness/health-talk-blog/health-talk/2021/mens-health-timeline/See the full video of my African Adventure -- https://youtu.be/ll8UcdinER4Connect with Andy and the Real Men Feel Podcast:Book a Clarity Call with Andy and get clear on your goals, what's in your way, and what you can do about it at https://theandygrant.com/talkInstagram | @realmenfeelshow & @theandygrantAndy Grant Website | https://theandygrant.com for coaching, healing, and book info!Real Men Feel Website | http://realmenfeel.org RMF Facebook Group | http://realmenfeel.org/groupYouTube | https://youtube.com/realmenfeel#RealMenFeel ep 352
