The Modern Day Man

When “Busy” Becomes Unhealthy

The modern day man is busier than ever, yet moves less, eats worse, and lives unhealthier than any generation before him. The modern day man wakes up tired, scrolling his phone before even stepping out of bed, fueling the morning with caffeine and poor food options to make it through the day. Schedule jam packed with meetings, hours slipping away at a desk, shoulders rounded, answering calls, sending emails, and joining meetings with step counts barely over 3,000 per day. With a life moving a hundred miles an hour, dinner is often delivered or picked up from takeout or eaten at a sit-down restaurant. As time progresses within this lifestyle, weight slowly creeps up on the scale, energy diminishes, and stress piles up, and this becomes the new “normal”. Exercise may happen through the occasional trip to the gym, but no meaningful momentum is ever made toward positive change.

When the modern day man finally makes it to the doctor, it is usually after something has gone wrong, and the solution is another prescription instead of a plan to prevent the high blood pressure, rising hemoglobin A1c and fasting sugars, elevated cholesterol, or declining testosterone. Rather than his primary medical doctor creating a plan for reclaiming his health, the modern day man is told, “see you in 6 months”, and to “watch that blood pressure” after being prescribed a new medication in a 15-minute visit. Rather than being motivated to exercise or prescribed a nutritional plan to defeat this new enemy – his health – he is sent off to pick the prescription up from the pharmacy and to continue his current life. Even the primary doctor himself is in the same rut, as unhealthy as his patient or worse.

By The Numbers

Unfortunately, this is the reality for men today – surviving, but far from thriving during the most fruitful years of his life. Living is not always synonymous with a good quality of life. The new “normal” as men progress into their late thirties, to their 40s and 50s becomes just a shadow of how they used to feel, and time makes it difficult to remember the vigor and vitality he used to live with. 

Obesity trends have markedly increased for adult males and females over the last 30 years, increasing from 25% of the population in 1990 to nearly 43% as of 2022 by the World Health Organization. It is expected that these numbers have only gone up in more recent years. According to the CDC, men’s activity levels have actually increased modestly – 22% of adult men as of 2010-2015 met both aerobic and resistance training guidelines, with an increase to 28% as of 2020. While this is great, the vast majority of men are still not meeting the full recommendations. The duo of obesity and low physical activity has been dubbed by the American College of Cardiology as the deadly duo for the development of a wide range of conditions, including metabolic dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and vascular disease – all of which reduce the vigor and vitality once felt in earlier years.

Today’s lifestyle is draining men of their quality of life, driving testosterone and key biomarkers markers of longevity down. Combined with the natural effects of aging, this creates a self-perpetuating cycle.

The good news: there is a way to break free and reclaim your health.

Take Control

Many of the modern day men in society see the absence of tangible disease as an excuse for taking control of their health. This absolutely should not be how life in general should be viewed. If the oil in your car is low, there is no engine coolant left, power steering fluid is gone, the brakes are worn and there are no treads on your tires – do you just wait until something happens? The same logic should go to one’s health. 

The magic bullet to aging is not found in gimmicks, in instagram posts promising to “boost testosterone by 100%”, in magazine ads for supplements claiming to “biohack” or reverse aging. The magic bullet is found in the medical providers who live it, exercising, eating well, and optimizing their own physiology while guiding men to do the same. These healthcare practitioners are forward thinking, and work to prevent disease before it starts rather than acting frantically when it actually has taken hold. 

Men must shift their focus to prevention, and Renew Medical is here to help.
