It might sound like a cliche, but men in the U.S. are not going to the doctor, and their physical and mental health is suffering.

A recent survey from the Cleveland Clinic found that nearly 40% of Gen Z men didn’t have a primary care doctor.

And the life expectancy gap between men and women is widening. That’s according to the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Today, we talk with physicians about the state of men’s health and what they’re learning from their male patients.

GUESTS:
Dr. David Inyangetor: Primary Care Physician at Trinity Health
George Gogas: LCSW at Charter Oak Therapeutic Services, LLC
Dr. Harrell Jordan: Executive Dean of Chamberlain University
