Healthy Colorado: Improving hormones and mental health for Men’s Health Month

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- June is Men's Health Month, and experts tell KRDO13 there are several ways men can significantly improve their hormone health and overall well-being.

"One is having appropriate sleep," says Dr. Abram McBride at Colorado Springs Urology. "Second is having appropriate diet and nutrition, and third is a sedentary lifestyle; we have to start moving. And then finally is managing stress. And if we address those four underlying pillars of men's health, a lot of the other disease manifestations of men's health tend to disappear or get significantly better."

Dr. McBride says if you are prioritizing these four things, depression and anxiety drop in most men.

If not, look into treatment. He says men tend to struggle more with mental health than women because they're less likely to go see a doctor and reach out for help when needed.
