Total Health

The Men’s Total Health folks want you to know that a visit to their office is a very different experience than a visit to your regular doctor’s office. Co-founder Micheal Roach aptly explains, “ We do not treat you like a dollar sign. We will put together an individualized plan of medicine for each person that walks through the door. Your health is the most important thing to us, and a close second is your experience with us.” This healthcare concept, particularly the services MTH offers, is a novelty in today’s medical world.

The conception of Men’s Total Health came about while co-founder and New Orleans native Michael Roach was working in a men’s health and hormone therapy clinic as a nurse practitioner in Houston. After working in the clinic for ten years, he realized that the New Orleans area needed a clinic that offered the same services. Soon after, he partnered with Ross Cannizaro and brought his valuable expertise in the field to the Big Easy.

Men’s Total Health has been helping people with their medical needs for nearly three years, and the results have been life-changing for many. Offering services such as primary care, hormone therapy, weight management, erectile dysfunction, and help with hair loss, Men’s Total Health is the premier place of its kind.

As the name suggests, the clinic is mainly geared toward men, but they have women clients who also seek their services. Why is the focus primarily on men? The reason is simple. Men’s problems are often characterized as ‘unmanly,’ a falsehood that MTH wants to dispel. There is no shame in getting help to control and maintain your health. Fatigue, low libido, ED, and other associated issues are common. One in three men has low testosterone levels, a problem that can be treated with a proper hormonal replacement solution. Men’s Total Health professionals encourage anyone who feels a little ‘off’ to seek attention.

In most cases, having them feel like themselves once again is an easy fix.

Michael’s favorite part of his day in the clinic is sharing with patients the alternatives that can change their lives. As Mike explains, the reward is monumental: “Changing patients’ perspective by giving them the tools to take personal responsibility and accountability for their well-being. We want men to take charge of their health, not only for themselves but for their families.” The change in perspective of which Mike speaks is often the catalyst for positive change in an individual’s health and life.

The professionals at MTH know about managing and treating men’s hormonal levels because they are backed by thirteen years of experience in the field. Not only can you count on guidance from someone with experience and passion, but you can also count on the Men’s Total Health staff to be genuine, caring people who treat each patient with dignity, not as a number. These critical components set Men’s Total Health apart from other medical clinics.

Hence, for those who may be struggling with hormonal imbalance, weight management, erectile dysfunction, hair loss, or simply in need of primary care, Michael advises, “Don’t wait. We can help now and correct your issues today. The longer you wait, you’ll regret losing those days or months down the road.” That’s sound advice from a man who has made it his life’s work to help other men live their best lives.

Spring in Louisiana is truly a magical time of year! As the temperatures warm up and the flowers bloom, the entire state comes alive with color and energy. Unfortunately, spring, specifically June 1st, is also the start of hurricane season, and it does not end until November 30th. As hurricane season approaches, Louisiana homeowners and renters must prepare for potential damage and take steps to protect their property. Here are some tips to help you get ready and minimize the impact of a hurricane.

1. Make a plan: Before hurricane season starts, plan how you and your family will evacuate if necessary. Make sure everyone knows the plan and has a designated meeting place. As part of your plan, create a checklist to ensure you have all important documents in a waterproof portable file or container to take with you. Include Social Security cards, proof of residence, insurance policies, birth and marriage certificates, stocks, bonds, other negotiable certificates, wills, deeds, and copies of recent tax returns.

2. Secure your home: Take steps to secure your home and protect it from potential damage. Trim trees and branches, secure loose outdoor items, and install hurricane shutters or plywood over windows and doors. Also, consider reinforcing your roof and garage doors.

3. Review your insurance policy: Make sure you have adequate insurance coverage for your home and personal belongings. Review your policy and make any necessary updates or changes. If you rent, you should get renters insurance because while your landlord most likely has insurance on the rental property, that insurance will not cover your belongings.

4. Take a video inventory: Video evidence of property is extremely helpful if you have to file an insurance claim. Walk around your property, capturing the condition of your home before the storm. It is helpful to narrate the video calling attention to things that a claims adjuster may find useful. Make a video of each room in your house focusing on the highest-value items. If damage is sustained from a hurricane, here are some steps to take:

1. Assess the damage: Once it’s safe to return to your home, assess the damage and take photos of it for insurance purposes.

2. Contact your insurance company: Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the damage and start the claims process. If your insurance company is non-responsive or offers much less than the replacement value of your damage, call a lawyer specializing in insurance claims, like The Law Queens. Many of our clients are initially offered no compensation or inadequate compensation by their insurance companies. With our dedicated and compassionate representation, we can help these clients navigate the complex insurance claims process and secure the compensation they deserve.

3. Make temporary repairs: If necessary, cover holes in the roof or board up broken windows. Keep receipts for any repairs and materials used.

4. Seek professional help: Hire a professional to assess the damage and make necessary repairs. Be wary of contractors who offer services door-to-door and always check their credentials and references.

Hurricane season can be unpredictable, so plan, be prepared, and protect your home and belongings to minimize its impact.
