Men's Health in Crisis

Evolution of Medicine Podcast

Rob Kress, the founder of CrossFit with a background in pharmacy and herbology, joins James for a compelling discussion on the critical need for men’s health-focused medical practices. This episode is meant to inspire practitioners to create successful, holistic men’s health practices that can effectively address the current men’s health crisis.

The conversation stems from the recognition that many existing practices are primarily geared toward women, leaving a gap in addressing men’s specific health needs. Rob Kress shares with listeners his program, Man Unmedicated, which is a 30+ hour training program designed to equip practitioners with both clinical knowledge and coaching skills. Man Unmedicated offers a dual approach to men's health:

1. Functional Medicine Training: Focuses on labs, hormones, medications, and other clinical aspects related to men’s health.
2. Holistic Wellness Training: Covers the "seven peaks of wellness," including physical health, movement, exercise, and emotional/mental well-being, providing a more comprehensive approach to men's health.

Listen to the episode to hear more about:

• Opportunities that come with building men’s health-focused practices
• The importance of creating relatability and trust with male patients by sharing personal health journeys
• Strategies for building referral-based, community-centered practices around men's health groups and coaching
• Ongoing mentorship and support to help practitioners implement this model in their communities
• And much more
