From your mate’s “walk it off” wisdom to Nonna’s miracle chicken soup, everyone’s got an opinion on your health and how to improve it. But when was the last time you got advice from an expert?
Around two-thirds of Aussie blokes don’t see a doctor straight away when they notice a problem, which can ultimately make it worse. So this Men’s Health Week, we’re encouraging you to go further than the armchair experts and book that GP appointment you’ve been putting off.
Whether it’s a new symptom or a regular check-up — your doctor can catch the serious things early and help you manage the less serious things easier.
Not sure where to start? We’ve got checklists, myth-busting facts and a tool to help you find a local GP.
