Men’s Health Week – Men’s Health Matters.

Since June 15th to 21st is Men’s Health Week, we look at some common issues experienced by the male population regarding managing their health. We delve into attitudes towards physical and mental health to better understand what drives men to seek help. We focus on Men’s Reproductive health and Mental health. Our resident Naturopath, Mark Westhead, speaks about the Gut-Brain Axis and how treating the gut may improve Mental health symptoms and hopefully not just during Men’s Health Week.

Obstacles to Men’s health

Globally, the average male lifespan is four or five years shorter than the female lifespan. (1) Reasons for this include:(1,2)

  • high-risk lifestyles and higher-risk occupations resulting in higher rates of injury from accidents
  • unhealthy behaviours including high smoking rates, high ‘at risk’ alcohol consumption, alcoholism and resistance to change
  • higher suicide rates
  • the higher mortality rate due to heart disease
  • hormonal differences can account for specific health problems

Attitudes to Men’s health

Although attendance rates to healthcare practitioners increase in men over 45 years of age, problems managed at that stage are frequently chronic in nature. (2) A survey of Australian men ranging in age from 19 to 95 years old found that:(3)

  • Men delay seeking professional help when health symptoms occur
  • 70% of all men and 69% of young, healthy men had current concerns about their health
  • 91% reported being motivated to change their health

Men’s Motivation Mojo

What might motivate the desire for change, which may at first glance seem to concern issues around vanity and self-image, such as baldness and impotence,(1) are actually a real indication of the significant effect that androgen deficiency has on both the physical and mental health of men. While men have poorer health outcomes than women in many areas, particularly cardiovascular health and mental health,(4), this is partly due to hormonal differences. Since Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a predictor of cardiovascular-related diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and angina,(5) for some men, ED may be a motivating factor in addressing their health issues(1). Simultaneously, the impact of these physical changes may coincide with the increased incidence of mental health issues such as mid-life crisis and depression, (6) experienced by males.

Male-specific Reproductive health issues surrounding erectile dysfunction, include premature ejaculation, testosterone deficiency syndrome, baldness, impotence and prostate and testicular cancer. (1,5) Of real concern, Prostate cancer is the most common carcinoma in Western males. (1) Naturopathy offers some insight into caring for prostate health with specific nutrients and herbal medicines alongside diet and lifestyle advice and recommending tests as the need arises.

Putting the ‘Men’ in Mental Health during Men’s Health Week

While it is recognised that there is a sustained increase in psychosocial disorders in men, including alcohol and substance abuse and domestic violence, men’s increasing aggression and auto-aggression remains unsolved health and societal problem. (6)  Again, this is where Naturopathy has a part to play, offering insight that may be missed by mainstream medicine. For example, a common test we conduct in young men presenting with mental health concerns in our clinic is Pyrrole disorder (read more about Pyrrole). In some cases, this is the missing piece to the mental health puzzle that provides insight into why problems may be occurring.

Our resident Cannon Hill Naturopath, Mark Westhead, specialises in Mental health, Men’s health and Digestive health and emphasises that talking about mental health is a great place to start. Mark points to the fact that whilst women are likely to talk to their circle of friends and seek medical help about mental health issues, men are less likely. “Men are more inclined to try to fix a personal health issue themselves because many view it as a personal failing or weakness. That’s why women need to encourage their male loved ones to open up about their struggle and seek help.”

Mark is encouraged by more male celebrities coming forward and talking about their mental health struggles. Sportspeople disclosing their mental health issues are identified as a positive influence for other men’s help-seeking and help develop help-seeking as a social norm. (7) As professional sportspeople appear to be in peak physical health, yet can still experience mental health problems, this demonstrates the need for good nutrition, healthy digestion and supplement support, especially when there is increased demands on the body. Mark relates the importance of a naturopathic approach: “a nourished body can do the job it was designed to do.”

In his practice, Mark will focus on his patients on the relationship of both the gut and mental health called the Gut-Brain Axis. In his experience, most people struggling with Anxiety also have gut problems such as reflux, bloating, constipation or diarrhoea, commonly seen in conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Mark also explains why there may be biochemical pathways that need to be addressed. “Neurotransmitters that are used in the brain and body are made from the proteins in our diet. Dietary proteins are broken down into amino acids and then reassembled in whatever sequence the body needs. If the gut isn’t functioning at an optimum level, those amino acids, along with the minerals and vitamins needed as co-factors for these biochemical pathways, may become dysfunctional.” He employs some simple and effective questionnaires to identify amino acid deficiencies, enabling him to provide supplements that will improve Neurotransmitter function.

Making a difference in Men’s Lives and not just during Men’s Health Week.

At different times in their lives, men have differing health experiences and needs and different degrees of interest in improving their health. (2) We welcome the chance to offer our services to the male population, especially since among adults with multiple chronic conditions, women were more likely to use Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) than men. We hope to influence the better and one of the rea why we pride ourselves on having Male Naturopaths available at both of our clinic locations. Men’s Health matters and we are here to assist with what matters most, with a little mind over matter.

If you are looking for a holistic approach to your health, look no further! I visited Sheridan today and I was so relieved to finally have found someone who genuinely cares about your health, and who is passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about nutrition and the effect it has on not only your physical health, but your mental health as well! Sheridan is so caring, compassionate, and understanding, and always has her clients best interests at heart. I am looking forward to working with Sheridan and Brisbane Livewell Clinic long term to ensure that I am not only healthy, but happy too!!

After a few years struggling with thyroid disease I finally started to few better. Unfortunately the conventional medicine is very limited and don't see your body as a whole but in separate parts not connected. Craig has helped me to find what my body needed to optimize my health, something you won't find with your GP. It might sound costly but living a live of limitations can be way more costlier.

Months after recovering from Glandular Fever, I still felt like I had no energy, was constantly tired, had stomach issues and continually struggled to get out of bed. Dr did not find anything in my blood work after many visits, but I knew I was not well. Eventually I tracked down this clinic and had consultations with Craig Baron. Craig was absolutely amazing and really seeks a holistic approach. He builds a profile of your health issues and spends time getting to understand your mental wellbeing. Craig recommended some remedies and a change in my diet. Since visiting him, I have felt so much better, I have been able to get back to the gym and I finally have energy to do things. Thank you Craig for helping me feel like myself again!

I have been seeing Fiona on a regular basis and I know when I go I don’t have to say anything to her about any pain or stiffness as she finds my problem spots even the ones I didn’t know I had. Fiona always provides information on how to help get things back in track. I recommend Fiona to anyone who needs a massage to assist with any tightness, pain or injury.

I know I’ll always be grateful that I found Brisbane Livewell Clinic. Craig leaves no stone unturned when it comes to looking at health issues and I’m feeling so much better than I did when I started going. I have more energy, my problematic skin issues have cleared up and my mood is better. I still have work to do but it is great to know that I have a practitioner I can count on who will spend time talking things through, and consider all possibilities. We are all unique and our health issues can be complex, so it’s important to have someone you can trust to help you work things out and get to the causes. My whole family Now attends the clinic. I would highly recommend them if you are serious about feeling your best self.

I booked into the Livewell Clinic in desperation after spending seven months and thousands of dollars seeing GPs and Specialists who couldn't help me. I started having these weird episodes where I would get terrible nausea and dejavu and felt like I was about to have a fit.Heart and brain scans were clear so I was referred to a neurologist. After heaps more tests they told me my symptoms were similar to Epileptic Aura but they couldn't treat me because the scans were clear. They told me to try and de-stress and they would continue to monitor me.When the episodes got worse, a friend recommended I try a naturopath and so I googled and found Craig.He has been amazing at treating my "excitable nervous system". I like how he explains the science behind things and is very knowledgeable. I have been seeing him for less than a month but my episodes have reduced and I feel much better. It's only early days but I have noticed my heart is not racing as much, I'm calmer and have more energy. I have never tried alternate medicine before, or posted a review of a service, but decided to post this because it might help someone else going through a similar thing.

Trudy is wonderful! She shows genuine care and interest in my goals - and is realistic and practical. I feel really comfortable with her which means I can be totally open (about going off the rails with my nutrition!). She also has a great sense of humor and is incredibly knowledgeable. All of the team I’ve had encountered are also lovely. I initially came to the clinic because of the online booking function but Trudy is what keeps me coming back!

I feel that the attention to details surrounding my food issues is being carefully considered before pointing fingers at any particular food. The new larger range food intolerance test I did, the last one was 8 years ago, opened my eyes to how far the research and accuracy of these tests has come along. Looking forward to eating without guessing!

After being dismissed by an Endocrinologist with my rT3 results and telling me it’s a “naturopath thing” - well, it made perfect sense to me to see a naturopath AND I’m glad I did. My partner even commented when I got home because he could see how totally deflated I was when I got home from the appt with the so called specialist over a week ago. He said to me yesterday - well that must of gone well because you have a smile on your face......I’m looking forward to feeling better once my levels get back to normal. Thank you Katarina !
