Body Tailors Personal Training Brandon and Jackie Morrison bodytailorspersonaltraining.com 479.310.6820 One of the biggest concerns we hear from men is that our program at Body Tailors Personal Training is designed just for women. Although the majority of our clients are women, we are seeing more men coming in who realize that our program will give them exactly what they need to achieve their goals, which typically is to gain muscle and lose body fat. We offer a great combination of weight training, conditioning and mobility workouts to help expedite results for men, women, and even kids!

Cooper Clinic Dr. Allen Beachy cooperclinic.com 479.274.2000 Often, when considering permanent male birth control, men are worried the procedure is painful. Dr. Beachy says, "It's only associated with minimal discomfort following the procedure so that most men don't need any pain medication.

Although patients need to take it easy for a week after, most are able to go back to work after only two days off." Sexual function and desire should remain unaffected by vasectomy; and within one to two weeks, the patient should be able to do any activities he would have done before the procedure.

DIABETES

479.709.DOCS | SparksHealth.com

Why: More than 6 million people in the United States have diabetes and don’t know it. Symptoms of diabetes are so mild that the disease often goes undetected, or it is mistaken for some other ailment.

MAN'S MANUAL

MUST-HAVE HEALTH SCREENINGS FOR MEN

When: Men 45 years of age or older should consider getting a diabetes test, and individuals who have risk factors – overweight, a family history, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or cardiovascular disease – should talk to their doctor about beginning testing before age 45.

PROSTATE CANCER Why: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. The disease is rare before age 50, and, when caught early, i.e., while symptoms are limited to the prostate, is curable. Age is considered the biggest risk factor for prostate cancer. More than 70 percent of all men are diagnosed at age 65 or older.

When: A prostate check is usually performed annually, as part of a man’s physical, beginning at age 50.

TESTICULAR CANCER Why: Testicular cancer is rare and its cause is unknown; however, it is also the most common cancer among men ages 20 to 34. It is most often found among white males.

There are multiple options in styles, fabrics, and leathers that will please you both. As for trends this fall, textured fabrics, metal finishes, and wood tones help create a more masculine feel. Navy and plum are some of the new rich tones, so don't be afraid to veer off of black or brown, and you can never go wrong with red!
