The Canyon Ranch Guide to Men's Health: A Doctor's Prescription for Your XY Chromosome

Physician Brewer (medical director, Canyon Ranch Health Resorts) has compiled a concise manual covering men's wellness from the perspective of both adult male life cycles and select body functions. The life stages include important age periods when the health requirements for males change. For example, the needs of men in the 18- to 30-year-old bracket are going to be different than those of 51- to 65-year-olds. Brewer explores these various age ranges, identifying key milestones for which to prepare. Topics considered by chapter include brain, heart, muscle, and sexual well-being. The author also examines prostate cancer, nutrition, sleep, weight loss, epigenetics, and meditation. Brewer applies his wealth of expertise of family practice and integrative medicine to address issues specific to the male body. Altogether, he has composed an approachable manual in which men and their significant others can benefit from reading without too much time commitment or previous medical knowledge.
