Men’s Health – July 2024

News flash! Calling all men! What are you doing to take care of yourself?

Let’s reflect, what are you currently doing to positively benefit your health? If you can count those benefits on one hand, then it’s time to change your routine and prioritize staying in good health. While health prioritization will vary from man to man, top priorities should include nutrition, consistent physical activity and regular appointments to a physician and dentist. Audiologists, chiropractors, massage therapists, counselors and other specialized care providers are also highly recommended.

With so many resources at your disposal, creating a comprehensive healthcare plan is neither that hard nor expensive. Lucky for you, Omaha has a plentiful variety of businesses jumping at the opportunity to help their clients create a personalized healthcare routine, unique to each individual’s wants and needs. So, why not give it a try?!

Awakin Men’s Health (awakinmenshealth.com) is a provider-owned and operated healthcare practice focused on men’s health. Andrew Wakin believes in being proactive in treating men with erectile dysfunction, testosterone deficiency, low libido, weight management, hair loss and overall health.

Awakin Men’s Health is determined to spread education and healthy lifestyles to men who want to make changes to their current lifestyle, guiding them toward overall stability and longevity. Wakin’s top priority has always been about keeping people aware of their health risks and the ways they can live a healthy lifestyle, leading him to start his own practice where men feel comfortable talking about their health, especially regarding erectile dysfunction, low libido, hormone replacement therapy and weight in a discrete and private telecommunication environment. No one will ever need to make their health journey public.

“My consultations are strictly with me,” says Owner and Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner Andrew Wakin. “I know it’s a sensitive subject, but [my company] provides private follow-up exams and telehealth calls that are usually no more than ten minutes. Ignoring your health problems can cause anxiety, stress and can even leak into your personal life and cause relationship issues.”

Awakin Men’s Health provides many different health screenings including sleep apnea checks; full blood panels where they check cholesterol, thyroid levels, hormone levels and weight issues and walk men through the process of getting better and taking accountability for their health. Wakin wants to emphasize the importance of reaching out if one has an erectile dysfunction, which can be caused by high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, smoking, certain medications, stress, high cholesterol or even nerve damage. This is an early sign of a possible life-threatening problem.

If you’re experiencing anything discussed here, don’t hesitate to reach out to Andrew directly to talk through the issues you are having. Call (402) 401-4012 or visit awakinmenshealth.com to schedule a consultation.
