Research also shows men are more likely to smoke and drink alcohol, and generally lead less healthy lifestyles. This episode was released during Men's Health Week 2021, where we actively engage with men to look at how we can provide better support in facilitating and opening discussions around men’s health.

The gut is often referred to as our second brain, so let's learn about how we can keep our gut healthy.
