Lunch and Learn with Dr. BerryMastering Men's Health- Essential Insights for Men's Health MonthSo let's talk about mastering men's health... It is a widely known fact that men are significantly less likely to see the doctor. This makes them remarkably more susceptible to many diseases, including those that only show up when all is too late but could have easily been prevented if detected early on. This is the reason why the month of June is dedicated to Men's Health. As a member of the healthcare system and as a man myself, I think it is not just important, but essential that we have a discussion on just...

When was the last time that you checked your blood pressure? Last week? Last month? 3 months ago? A lot of us can't even remember the last time we had our blood pressure checked. In fact, of the 1.3 billion adults worldwide who have high blood pressure, 46% don't even have the slightest idea that their blood pressure is going through the roof. That statistic alone is really alarming, given the fact that uncontrolled high blood pressure is a major contributing factor to the world's leading cause of death...

Too often, people misunderstand 'mental health' as the absence of mental illness, when in fact, people can have mental issues; it's a matter of how we're coping. But there rises another concern as people confuse coping and good mental health as a one-size-fits-all healing. They think everyone has to be able to operate the same way, to deal with stress and anxiety the same way; but that is just not the case. Sadly, lots of people still think that's...
