What’s behind those moustaches this November? 

As the days grow shorter, moustaches are sprouting across top lips everywhere, marking Men's Health Month. It’s more than just a seasonal trend—it's a reminder to men everywhere to take charge of their health. 

Be Aware: Men's Health Matters 

Did you know men are less likely to prioritise their health compared to women? This November, break the mould. Men’s Health Month shines a spotlight on key health issues affecting men, such as: 

• Prostate cancer: Learn the symptoms and act early. 

• Testicular health: Get familiar with what’s normal and consult a clinician if something feels off. 

Participating in initiatives like Movember or No Shave November can help raise awareness and funds for vital causes. It’s a great way to contribute to your health and the wellbeing of others while having fun.  

Build Healthy Habits That Stick 

As the November nights grow darker, it’s tempting to hibernate. But Men’s Health Month is the perfect opportunity to kick-start healthier habits. 

• Compete in a step challenge or cycle your way to fitness. 
• Arrange walking meetings to stay active during the workday. 
• Swap sugary snacks for healthier options. 

If you're looking for guidance, Doctor Care Anywhere’s ‘My Health’ wellbeing platform offers personalised tips on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and managing stress—all accessible from your phone. 

Get Your ‘Man MOT’

Taking care of your car is important—but are you paying the same attention to your own health?

A quick DIY Man MOT can help you spot potential issues early. Or, if you’d prefer professional support, book a video call with a Doctor Care Anywhere GP or Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) who specializes in men’s health for personalised advice. 
Stay proactive—early detection is key to addressing many health concerns. 

Mental Health Matters: Big Boys Can Cry

It’s time to challenge the stigma around men’s mental health. Research shows men are less likely to seek help for emotional struggles, even though they face the same mental health challenges as anyone else. 

This Men's Health Month, remember: It’s OK to not be OK. Strengthen your mental wellbeing by: 

• Building social connections—join friends for coffee, organise a team meal, or reach out to someone who might be struggling. 

• Talking openly—while it might feel daunting, reaching out is an important first step. 

• If you’re feeling overwhelmed, professional help is always available. Speak to a GP or ACP who understands men’s health to get the support you need.
