Men's Health Week Awareness
Men's Health Week: Prioritizing Prevention, Strength, and Longevity
Men's Health Week is an opportunity to encourage men to take an active role in their health and well-being. Many common health conditions—including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, low testosterone, sleep apnea, depression, and certain cancers—often develop gradually and may not cause noticeable symptoms until they become more serious.
Regular preventive care can help identify health concerns early when they are most treatable.
Key Health Areas for Men
✅ Heart Health
Monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar regularly.
Maintain a healthy weight and stay physically active.
Avoid to***co products and limit excessive alcohol use.
✅ Metabolic Health
Screen for diabetes and insulin resistance.
Address abdominal weight gain and metabolic syndrome early.
Focus on nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep.
✅ Hormone Health
Low testosterone may contribute to fatigue, decreased muscle mass, reduced libido, mood changes, and difficulty maintaining a healthy weight.
Hormone evaluation may be appropriate for men experiencing symptoms.
✅ Mental Health
Anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout affect many men but often go untreated.
Seeking help is a sign of strength and an important part of overall wellness.
✅ Sleep Health
Poor sleep and sleep apnea can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, fatigue, and low testosterone.
Loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and poor sleep quality should be evaluated.
✅ Cancer Prevention
Discuss age-appropriate screenings with your healthcare provider.
Screenings may include colorectal cancer, prostate health assessments, and skin examinations.
Recommended Preventive Screenings
Annual wellness examination yearly
Blood pressure screening yearly
Cholesterol and cardiovascular risk assessment yearly starting at the age 35 new guidelines or earlier if symptome

Colon cancer screening beginning at recommended ages 45 years old unless family history or symptoms then you should earlier.
Prostate health discussion based on age and risk factors
Testosterone evaluation when clinically indicated
Mental health screening
Sleep apnea assessment when symptoms are present
Healthy Habits That Make a Difference
Exercise at least 150 minutes per week
Strength train 2–3 times weekly
Prioritize protein and whole foods
Stay hydrated
Maintain a healthy body weight
Get 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night
Manage stress effectively
Avoid to***co and ni****ne products

Take Charge of Your Health

🌞🔥 Grilling Season is Here – Let’s Keep It Safe! 🔥🌞

As the weather warms up and grills fire up, it’s the perfect time to enjoy summer meals with family and friends. But food safety matters just as much as flavor.

Here are the key temperature rules you shouldn’t ignore:

🌡️ Cook meats to safe internal temperatures:

Ground beef: 160°F
Chicken (all poultry): 165°F
Pork & steak: 145°F (then let rest 3 minutes)
Hot dogs: Heat until steaming hot

❄️ Keep cold foods cold:

Below 40°F
Don’t leave food out longer than 2 hours (or 1 hour if over 90°F)

🔥 Keep hot foods hot:

Above 140°F until served

🧊 Pro tip: Use a food thermometer — guessing isn’t good enough when it comes to foodborne illness.

🚫 Avoid cross-contamination:

Use separate plates for raw and cooked meats
Wash hands and surfaces often

Food poisoning can take down an entire household fast — and it’s completely preventable with a few simple habits.

Stay safe, enjoy your summer, and grill smart! 🍔🌽

🦟 Tick-Borne Illnesses Are on the Rise – Protect Yourself & Your Family
As the weather warms up, ticks become more active—and so do the illnesses they carry. In our region, common tick-borne diseases include:
Lyme disease
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
Ehrlichiosis
Anaplasmosis
These infections can cause fever, fatigue, headaches, body aches—and if untreated, can lead to serious complications.

Alpha-gal syndrome caused by the Lonestar tick causes mild to intense allergies to red meat, such as beef, pork or lamb. It also can cause reactions to other foods that come from mammals, such as dairy products or gelatin.
As of the most current Nebraska public health data:
~15 confirmed alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) cases have been reported in Nebraska in 2025 (year-to-date)
About 60% of those cases involved serious anaphylactic reactions
Important context:
2025 was essentially the first year Nebraska started formally tracking/reporting AGS, so these numbers are very likely an undercount
The condition is rapidly increasing nationwide and spreading north/west with tick expansion
Neighboring states are already seeing higher numbers (e.g., Iowa reported ~76 cases)

🌿 Where Are Ticks Found?
Ticks live in:
Tall grass and weeds
Wooded areas
Leaf piles
Even your own backyard

🛡️ How to Prevent Tick Bites
Simple prevention goes a long way:
Use EPA-approved insect repellents (like DEET or picaridin)
Wear long sleeves & pants when outdoors
Tuck pants into socks when in tall grass
Choose light-colored clothing (easier to spot ticks)
Shower and check your body within 2 hours of being outside
Don’t forget to check kids, pets, and scalp areas

⚠️ When to Seek Care
Call or come in if you notice:
A bullseye rash or unusual skin rash
Fever, chills, or flu-like symptoms after a bite
Persistent fatigue or joint pain
Early treatment matters. Don’t wait it out.

✔️ Bottom line: Avoiding the bite is your best defense. Stay aware, check yourself, and act early if something feels off.
If you have concerns about a tick bite or symptoms, we’re here to help—same-day appointments available.
