Optimal Men's Health

Optimal Men's Health is a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand guide to everything men (and the women who care about them) need to know about health. Taking an integrative approach, Dr. Myles Spar shows you how to feel young and powerful at any age while minimizing the risk of disease, showing that prevention is just as important as treatment.

This curated content gives the reader easy recommendations for what tests you should look for in order to know your risks for future health problems and what you can do, beyond taking medications, to prevent those problems from getting in your way or for treating any chronic conditions. Using science-based information, this book asks the reader, "What do you want your health for?" and then sets out to equip them with all that they needs to make sure their health will facilitate, and not hinder, the reader's life goals.

Using real patient experience, Dr. Spar explains the usefulness of advanced testing; the usefulness of integrative medicine approaches such as mindfulness, an anti-inflammatory diet, how to optimize sleep, and the use of supplements for all of the conditions; and uses various complementary treatments and therapies that can be useful in preventing and treating diseases through acupuncture, yoga, exercise, and more. Dr. Spar provides you with lists of questions to ask your healthcare professional, sidebars of key information, checklists and action plans, lists of resources and suggested further reading for you to take your health journey into your own hands.

Optimal Men's Health equips you to achieve your health goals, addressing every aspect of lifestyle, medicine, and alternative therapies. This is the perfect resource for anyone, man or woman, to live your best life.
