| One of the biggest threats to men’s health has always been the challenge of getting men to care about it. “It’s hard to say the exact reason, but men don’t really do anything preventatively,” explains physician Frank Lipman, M.D. Through nearly 40 years of experience practicing functional medicine, Dr. Lipman has found that men generally “are not interested in subtle changes in their body, and they traditionally wait until they have a heart attack or something serious.”
But now, thanks to a combination of telemedicine, wearable tech, and the mainstreaming of biohacking, doctors like Lipman have been able to spin this competitive edge into a more holistic approach to healthcare. Being able to track things like their sleep, exercise, and how much alcohol they’ve cut back on — and bond with other guys while competing over their progress — might be what gets them paying more attention to their minds and bodies. |
