MEN'S HEALTH Q&A
Men’s health is important because many of the health issues that affect men are preventable.
Convenient Care Clinic, LLC, is a primary care practice that wants to get back to the basics of health care. Instead of only prescribing medications, Jeremy takes a holistic approach, using nutrition, exercise, and supplements to support health and wellness.
Men face many health challenges. Sex hormones, reproductive organs, and lifestyle choices place men at risk of developing chronic health issues, such as:
Heart disease
Heart disease affects all people, but it may develop sooner in men. High cholesterol and abdominal fat are common in men and are risk factors for heart disease.
Prostate problems
The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. Its primary job is to produce seminal fluid. Found under the bladder, the prostate wraps around the urethra — the tube that carries urine out of the body.
The prostate gland continuously grows, leading to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate. When the prostate grows too big, it may affect urination.
Prostate cancer is also a concern for men.
Low testosterone
Testosterone is the male sex hormone responsible for male characteristics like facial hair, muscle strength, and a deep voice. Testosterone production slows down as you age, causing health problems like low libido, erectile dysfunction (ED), and weight gain.
Convenient Care Clinic, LLC, is a primary care practice that specializes in men’s health. Jeremy offers many services that improve general health and manage chronic diseases. Some of the services available include:
Physicals
Annual physicals are essential for disease prevention and health promotion. Jeremy offers a membership plan and pay-per-visit program for routine preventive health exams like annual physicals and lab work.
Chronic care
Poor lifestyle choices lead to chronic health issues like heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol. Jeremy takes a holistic and natural approach to chronic care, using nutrition, exercise, and supplements, only prescribing medications when absolutely necessary.
Hormone therapy
For men with low testosterone (low-T), Jeremy has a testosterone program that includes monthly hormone monitoring and treatment for a set monthly fee.
Weight loss
Many men struggle with weight management. Jeremy provides help with weight loss, customizing plans that help you reach your weight goals and stay there.
If you struggle with back, neck, or joint pain, Jeremy can also provide effective treatments, like trigger point injections, and help you live a more active, pain-free lifestyle.
