According to a national survey conducted in early May 2022 in the United States, one-third of men do not think they need annual health screenings.
Close to two-thirds of the individuals surveyed believe they are “naturally healthier than others in general.” Furthermore, almost two out of five of the participants shared that they often turn to social media for medical advice.
The Harris Poll conducted this online survey for Orlando Health in Orlando, FL. The market research and consulting firm interviewed 893 U.S. adult males aged 18 and older.

At 28 years old, I had a flourishing finance career in London. It was great: my work was rewarding, both intellectually and financially. But it was also pretty damn stressful. Commutes, client dinners, long hours, early mornings, lack of sleep, lunches at your desk, and job pressure… It takes a toll on you.
As I looked around me, I saw colleagues who were extremely successful in their careers, making tons of money—whose health was in tatters. I was determined not to go down the same path. I didn’t drink, smoke, or take drugs. I trained hard, and ate well. I was in a good place—or so I thought. Then I took a blood test, and my whole world was turned upside down:
I had the testosterone levels of an 80-year-old man. The result blindsided me. Once the shock wore off, it became apparent how much my lack of testosterone had impacted my life:
I battled grinding anxiety all day, every day. Depression was a familiar friend, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t shake it. I struggled to make any meaningful progress in the gym, despite training hard. And to top it off, my sex drive was non-existent.
Little did I realize, these were hallmark symptoms of low testosterone.
