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.

01
 
Set Boundaries
To stave off burnout, you need to be vigilant about maintaining boundaries between work and home. If your job is too demanding and there’s no end in sight, think about what it’s costing you in terms of not being present and engaged around your family. Then, figure out what can be taken off your plate.

Take 30 Minutes for Yourself Each Day
Maybe it’s in the early hours before the kids wake. Maybe it’s during naptime. Whatever the case,try to carve out 30 minutes each day to do something that is enjoyable or relaxing, burns energy, or involves social connection.

Set Short-Term Goals
Establishing personal goals can help you feel a sense of purpose. But vague, long term goals with no benchmarks are easy to ignore. Instead, set a goal at the beginning of each month and examine how you’ll take care of yourself over the next 30 days. Then, check in with yourself weekly and adjust accordingly.
