This week Men’s Health Week is celebrated around the world leading up to Father’s Day. The purpose of Men’s Health Week is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men. Going to the doctor plays an important part of maintaining overall health and wellness.

In our community there is a common health disorder that is hiding in plain sight among a great number of men in our community. Doctors see it in their practice on a regular: men continuously struggling to lead healthy lifestyles; men who have metabolic syndrome.
