June is Men’s Health Month—a timely reminder for men of all ages to take a proactive role in their wellness. At Flourish Medical + Wellness, we’re here to support you through every stage of life, from energy slumps to establishing lasting, healthy habits. Let’s talk about four key pillars of men’s health we’re focusing on this month: prostate health, heart wellness, testosterone, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men after skin cancer. The good news? When caught early, it’s highly treatable. We recommend discussing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing with your healthcare provider—especially if you’re over 50, or earlier if you have a family history. At Flourish, we offer supportive screenings and guidance to help you stay ahead of potential issues, without the overwhelm.
​
Tips for a healthier prostate:

• Stay active
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Limit red meat and processed foods
• Consume more tomatoes, broccoli, and green tea

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the U.S., but it’s also one of the most preventable. Maintaining heart health doesn’t have to mean drastic lifestyle changes—it starts with small, intentional habits.
​
We support men with:

• InBody scans to monitor body composition and metabolic health
• Lab testing for cholesterol and other metabolic markers
• Nutrition coaching and supplements tailored to your needs

If you’ve been feeling fatigued, stressed, or carrying extra weight around your midsection, it might be time to check in—not just for your heart, but your whole system.

At Flourish, we take a whole-person approach to hormone health. We don’t just look at numbers—we look at how you regularly feel and function. Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with symptoms.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) for Men
If hormone imbalance is impacting your life, BHRT may be a game-changer. Bioidentical hormones are plant-derived and chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. For men, BHRT focuses on restoring optimal testosterone levels to:

• Improve energy
• Boost mood
• Support body composition, muscle mass, and fat loss
• Enhance libido and performance
• Protect heart and brain health

Our team specializes in testosterone pellet therapy—a long-lasting, convenient option that provides steady hormone levels without the rollercoaster of weekly injections.

Men’s Health Month is a great time to take charge. Whether it’s getting your PSA checked, starting a heart-healthy plan, or exploring hormone therapy, we’re here to guide you with compassion, expertise, and holistic care. Learn about Jason's experience with BHRT and Flourish.

​In the midst of our bustling lives and convenience-oriented diets, it's crucial to shed light on the importance of heart health. February is Heart Health Awareness Month, a timely opportunity to explore comprehensive strategies, including functional medicine, for cardiovascular well-being. It's essential not only to focus on managing cholesterol but also to examine the potential negative impacts of relying solely on medication.

​Functional medicine, a holistic approach, seeks to address the root causes of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms. In the context of heart health, functional medicine takes into account various factors such as genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental influences to create a personalized plan for prevention and treatment.

While medications can play a role in managing cholesterol, it's essential to acknowledge potential downsides. Medications may carry side effects, ranging from muscle pain to liver issues. Furthermore, relying solely on medication may lead to a false sense of security, potentially neglecting lifestyle changes that are crucial for long-term heart health.
 
At Flourish Medical + Wellness, we want you to thrive. That’s why we commemorate Heart Health Awareness Month and invite you to commit to prioritizing cardiovascular well-being. Functional Medicine, combined with lifestyle changes and nutritional adjustments, provides a holistic approach to heart health. Additionally, considering the potential negative impacts of relying solely on medication encourages a more balanced approach.
 
By making informed choices, we can work towards reducing the risk of heart disease and fostering a healthier, happier life. Remember, your heart deserves comprehensive care, so take steps today and flourish tomorrow. Contact us to discuss your health concerns.
