Men’s Health Month: Simple (Smart) Ways to Keep Him Kicking

Yes, we’re starting with food—because no amount of reps will outlift a lousy diet. Most guys think eating healthy means trading flavor for sadness. Not true. It’s about giving your body the fuel it craves. That means protein for building muscle and aiding recovery, fiber for digestion, and healthy fats for brain and heart support.

Need a shortcut to smarter eating? Start with these easy wins:

Think you need to train like an Olympian to stay in shape? Nope. What you need is consistency, smart movement, and recovery.

Here’s what your weekly workout could look like:

• Strength Training (2–3x/week): Focus on compound movements—squats, rows, presses.
• Cardio (2x/week): Walking, biking, or HIIT if you like the burn.
• Mobility  and  Recovery (daily): Even five minutes of stretching can help.

Want to amplify your effort? Creatine+ isn’t just for bodybuilders. With 5g of creatine monohydrate, plus goBHB® for energy and CognatiQ® for focus, it helps support strength, endurance, and brainpower. Take it pre-workout or as part of your morning ritual—flavored or unflavored.

If your joints complain after every workout, that’s your body asking for backup. Add Move Pro daily to support recovery and reduce post-exercise soreness. You’ll feel the difference.

Let’s normalize this right now: talking about stress, anxiety, or burnout doesn’t make you weak. It makes you wise.

Men often carry silent pressure—work demands, family responsibilities, physical changes—and shrug it off until it becomes too much. However, mental fitness requires repetition just like physical fitness.Here are a few mental wellness “sets” you can work into your day:

• Meditate or breathe deeply for just five minutes.
• Journal what’s on your mind—you’ll be surprised what clarity comes out.
• Talk to a friend or therapist without shame.
• Use physical activity as a means of emotional release.

Fueling your body well also helps your brain. Omega-3s, protein, and hydration all play a role in cognitive function. That’s why Vita Whey and Plant-Based Protein are so valuable—they deliver amino acids that support both muscle and mental performance.

You know how you always tell your partner you’re “fine”? Your doctor’s not buying it either.

Routine check-ups—bloodwork, blood pressure, cholesterol, and prostate screenings—aren’t optional after a certain age. They’re preventative tools. And just like you wouldn’t drive 10,000 miles without an oil change, you shouldn’t ignore your internal systems either.

Your job?

• Make the appointment.
• Be honest.
• Ask questions.
• Follow up.

And hey, those aches and pains? If they’re showing up more often, it could be a signal from your joints, not just aging. Supplements like Bone Broth Collagen and Creatine+ can support joint and muscle health as part of your long-term wellness plan.

If there’s one thing that makes everything better—from energy and focus to recovery and weight—it’s sleep. And no, four hours plus a double espresso is not “fine.”

Your body rebuilds itself while you rest. That includes repairing muscles, rebalancing hormones, and consolidating memory.

Optimize your sleep like this:

• Set a consistent bedtime and wake-up time.
• Limit screens an hour before bed.
• Cut off caffeine after 2 p.m.
• Create a sleep zone: cool, quiet, dark, and clutter-free.

Need help recovering after late-night workouts? Try a nighttime protein shake. Both Plant-Based Protein and Vita Whey are great mixed with almond milk or warm water to support overnight muscle repair, without bloating or heaviness.

And if you’re sore, a serving of Mag Calm before bed can help reduce stiffness by morning.

Let’s be honest—most guys don’t sit around chatting about gut health or energy levels. But maybe we should.

Men are statistically less likely to seek support or open up about their well-being. But a solid support system can make all the difference—mentally, emotionally, and even physically.

Here’s how to start:

• Join a fitness group or local sports team.
• Share recipes, routines, or supplement wins with your crew.
• Check in with friends —ask the real questions.
• Be a wellness role model for younger guys in your circle.

Pro tip: start a morning ritual challenge with your buddies. Use Vita Whey, Plant-Based Protein, or Creatine+ together and track your progress. That shared accountability can be both motivating and a great excuse to talk about your goals.
