Men's Health Speaker: Talking to Men Who Don't Want a Lecture

Men don't skip health talks because they don't care

They skip them because most health talks are guilt with slides. Men over forty already know they should sleep more and drink less. What they lack is a plan that fits around a job, a family and a body that recovers slower than it used to.
