June is National Men’s Health Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of preventive care, healthy habits, and holistic support for men of all ages. At Total Health in Berkeley Heights and Florham Park, New Jersey, this month reminds us that wellness isn’t just about treating illness; it is about building a routine that keeps the body strong, the mind clear, and the quality of life high.
Whether it is making time for physical activity, addressing chronic pain, or managing stress, men deserve personalized care that fits their needs. This holistic checklist is designed to help men take charge of their health and thrive in June and all year.
Understanding the Importance of Men’s Health
Men are often less likely to seek routine care or speak up about symptoms. This can lead to preventable conditions being diagnosed late or untreated altogether. National Men’s Health Month encourages men to be proactive, ask questions, and build relationships with trusted providers.
A holistic approach goes beyond basic screenings. It includes physical health, mental well-being, nutrition, movement, and lifestyle balance. At Total Health, this all-in-one model is what makes the difference.
1. Schedule an Annual Physical and Medical Evaluation
Routine physical examinations are still one of the most effective ways to stay ahead of potential health concerns. At Total Health, these comprehensive checkups ensure that patients understand their overall health by including vital signs monitoring such as blood pressure and heart rate, comprehensive lab panels to screen cholesterol, blood sugar, testosterone, and more, and prostate and colorectal cancer screenings based on age and personal risk factors.
Total Health’s patient-centered approach makes these evaluations educational, empowering men to stay informed and engaged in their care.
2. Stay Active with Support from Chiropractic Care and Rehabilitation Services
Movement supports cardiovascular health, weight control, bone density, and stress management. Yet, many men face joint stiffness or old injuries that limit their activity. Total Health encourages simple, achievable routines while offering supportive services like chiropractic care for spine and joint health, decompression therapy to relieve pressure and improve spinal mobility, and laser and shock wave therapy to help speed healing and reduce inflammation.
These services help men move freely, improve flexibility, and maintain a healthy active lifestyle.
3. Address Back, Joint, and Muscle Health with Specialized Therapies
Back pain, joint stiffness, and sports-related injuries can significantly impact quality of life. Total Health offers a multidisciplinary approach to address these issues through chiropractic adjustments to restore alignment and reduce discomfort, decompression therapy for chronic neck and back pain relief, and laser and shock wave therapies for musculoskeletal injuries and soft tissue support.
Ignoring these issues can result in long-term limitations. Total Health provides tailored care plans that help men stay mobile and pain-free.
4. Incorporate Alternative and Complementary Therapies for Stress and Emotional Well-being
Men’s mental health is often overlooked, yet it plays a vital role in overall well-being. Stress, burnout, and mood changes can interfere with sleep, relationships, and work. Total Health offers alternative and complementary therapies that support emotional balance, including gentle bodywork and therapeutic services to ease tension, stress management coaching and relaxation strategies, and infrared sauna sessions to promote relaxation and nervous system regulation.
These therapies create a safe space for men to unwind and support mental health alongside physical care.
5. Identify Hormone and Sleep Imbalances with Targeted Medical Interventions
Fatigue, low motivation, weight gain, and brain fog are not inevitable with aging. They may be symptoms of hormone imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, or sleep disorders. Total Health’s medical interventions include testosterone deficiency evaluations and hormone testing, sleep apnea screenings for men struggling with restorative sleep, and nutrient testing to identify deficiencies in key vitamins like D and B12.
These insights allow for personalized treatment plans that help men feel energized and focused again.
6. Optimize Nutrition with Personalized Education and Coaching
Nutritional needs evolve over time, yet many men struggle with diets high in processed foods, sugar, and alcohol, which contribute to inflammation and chronic conditions. Total Health supports men in adopting sustainable changes by offering nutrition education and coaching tailored to individual lifestyles and needs, guidance on balancing macronutrients for strength and longevity, and recommendations on hydration, portion control, and whole-food choices.
Rather than crash diets, Total Health promotes realistic adjustments that fit into everyday life.
7. Focus on Recovery, Flexibility, and Detoxification
Recovery and flexibility are critical for performance and injury prevention but are often neglected. Total Health offers infrared sauna therapy to help with muscle recovery and detoxification, improved circulation and reduced inflammation, and overall relaxation, which supports mental clarity and physical recovery.
These therapies are easily paired with daily stretching routines and chiropractic adjustments, offering men an effective recovery protocol that fits into any busy schedule.
8. Reassess Habits That Impact Long-Term Health
Men’s Health Month is a good time to evaluate lifestyle habits that may undermine wellness goals. Total Health encourages men to reduce or eliminate smoking or vaping, excessive alcohol consumption, high-sugar or processed snacks, and long periods of inactivity.
Total Health offers complementary therapies and wellness counseling that help men compassionately address these patterns and create achievable steps toward healthier living.
9. Build a Trust-Based Relationship with a Comprehensive Care Team
One of the most valuable aspects of lifelong wellness is building a relationship with healthcare providers who see the whole person. At Total Health, men gain access to chiropractors who specialize in spine and joint health, physical rehabilitation experts to restore strength and movement, wellness coaches who help men set and achieve health goals, and medical professionals offering evidence-based interventions for chronic and acute issues.
This collaborative approach ensures that men receive comprehensive, coordinated care supporting them through every life stage.
Conclusion: Small Steps, Big Impact
National Men’s Health Month is about more than appointments and reminders. It is about empowering men to take ownership of their well-being. Every small decision from stretching in the morning to asking questions at a physical adds up to a stronger, healthier life.
Total Health supports every step of that journey, with convenient locations in Berkeley Heights and Florham Park. Whether it is time to address chronic pain, get stronger, or build better routines, the team is ready to help men feel their best.
