We’ve just had the first ever Men’s Health Event at our Castle Hill office and what a success it was! The male of the species were out in force along with their wives, mums and girlfriends to see our special speakers, Dr Gerald Lewis and Dr Monica Lewis.
Going to see the doctor for a health problem or for a check-up is not something that most men do regularly – you could say that many men get their cars checked out more often than their own health! That’s why it was so fabulous to see more that 200 people pack out the Wentz Theatre at our Castle Hill office to listen to the much overlooked subject of men’s health.

Getting answers!
Having researched the areas of complementary therapies, Dr Lewis combines selected nutritional supplements with conventional medicine for an integrated approach to wellness. And this approach really hit the mark with the audience – both male and female. The question and answer section was a great opportunity for men to get answers. Topics ranged from general health and heart disease to male-centred cancers and other conditions such as prostate problems. Plus, there were a whole host of measures to boost men’s health – body and mind! Both men and women got the answers to questions they wanted answered but never got round to asking their own doctor!

A holistic approach to health
Ruby Director, Dr Monica Lewis’ passion is helping people with complex health problems where the medical profession has little more to offer them. A passionate advocate of integrated medicine and personalised nutrition, she incorporates mind-body medicine including counselling and nutritional medicine, in a very holistic approach.
A motivational public speaker on many health topics, Dr Lewis has co-authored a number of books on the importance of using high quality nutritional supplements, heart disease and, most recently, on the options for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Dr Wentz Vision Award winner Dr Monica, is also on the Medical Advisory Board of USANA Health Sciences.
The audience left upbeat and eager to learn more. And I suspect there will be a few check-ups being organised with doctors’ offices around Sydney – whether by the men who were at the presentation or the women that came with them!

Men's health is a very relevant topic for me and my husband. I had been concerned as I watched my husband's weight steadily increase and his exercise steadily decrease. On the odd occasions when we did get out walking together, he was so slow, I gave up taking him with me. Then we got the sad news that his much loved cousin had died from a sudden heart attack. That spurred my husband into seeing his own cardiologist (Secunia unknown to me he had been suffering angina on exertion for over 12 months), and 4 weeks later he was in hospital getting bypass surgery - 5 grafts! He was lucky that he acted before it was fatal. Men must start loving and take care of themselves. As a wife my advice was ignored (the heart surgeon reminded my husband that wives can be 'right'). My husband has been taking Usana products for over 11 years, which I am sure has helped his recovery. We need to take care of ourselves holistically - mind, body and soul. Our bodies need nourishing food, pure water, rest, deep breathing, good sleep, exercise and love.
ReplyDeleteVery true Helen. We all need to be aware of our own health and regularly get check ups, exercise and make sure we are getting what we need in terms of nutrition. We are so happy to hear that your husband is doing fine now.
