Alright, gentlemen—let’s get real for a second. June is Men’s Health Month, which means it’s time to stop pretending that your back doesn’t hurt, your energy isn’t tanking, or that “just one more slice” isn’t catching up to you.


Let’s face it: your body isn’t a rental. It’s your forever vehicle, and ignoring the check engine light won’t end well. Good health isn’t just for green juice warriors and gym rats—it’s for the everyday man who wants to keep doing what he loves, whether that’s lifting weights, chasing kids around, or grilling the perfect steak.

Here’s the good news: Prioritizing your health doesn’t mean giving up all your favorite things. It’s about balance, better choices, and giving your body the right fuel, like the kind you’ll find in powerhouse supplements such as Plant-Based Protein, Vita Whey, Creatine+, and Bone Broth Collagen.

Ready to make this the year you feel like your best self? Let’s go.

Eat Like You Mean It: Nutrition for Men's Health That Works

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:

  • Swap the mystery powder in your cabinet for something better. Our Plant-Based Protein (available in chocolate and vanilla) delivers 21g of complete protein with a smooth taste, perfect for plant-forward fuel without the grit.
  • Prefer dairy-based? Vita Whey Protein blends grass-fed whey isolate with digestive enzymes for a high-quality, clean, and easy-to-digest option that supports lean muscle and satiety.
  • Don’t forget collagen—our Bone Broth Collagen is packed with types I, II & III to support your joints, gut, and skin.

Add a scoop to your smoothie, oatmeal, or even coffee. That’s right—wellness can taste good, too.

🔹 Takeaways:

  • High-quality protein is crucial for maintaining strength, supporting metabolism, and promoting recovery.
  • Bone Broth Collagen supports joints, digestion, and skin health, especially as you age.
  • Supplementing isn’t cheating—it’s smart maintenance.

Move It or Lose It: Training That Respects Your Joints (and Time)

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.

🔹 Takeaways:

  • Regular movement keeps your muscles, metabolism, and mood in check.
  • Creatine+ helps fuel workouts, mental clarity, and recovery.
  • Collagen supports your connective tissue—don’t skip it.

Mental Health: It’s Not All in Your Head

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.

🔹 Takeaways:

  • Mental strength is just as critical as physical health.
  • Tools like meditation, hobbies, and social connections can help reduce stress.
  • Nutrition plays a big role in cognitive clarity and mood.

Stop Skipping Your Check-Ups

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.

🔹 Takeaways:

  • Annual check-ups catch problems before they become crises.
  • Your doctor is your ally, not your interrogator.
  • Health literacy is a powerful form of self-respect.

Sleep Like You Mean It

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.

🔹 Takeaways:

  • Prioritize 7–9 hours of high-quality sleep each night.
  • Nighttime nutrition supports better muscle recovery and hormone balance.
  • Your sleep space should be a calm, tech-free zone.

"You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to keep showing up for yourself."

Build Your Wellness Circle

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.

🔹 Takeaways:

  • Wellness is easier when you’re not doing it alone.
  • Peer support increases consistency and reduces isolation.
  • Encourage open conversations about health, performance, and recovery.

Final Thoughts: Wellness Isn’t Optional—It’s a Legacy

Men’s Health Month isn’t just a reminder—it’s a wake-up call. Your daily choices add up, whether you’re 25 or 65. And you don’t have to overhaul your life overnight. Start small: add a scoop of protein, schedule your check-up, take a walk, get some sleep, or call a buddy.


You don’t need to be perfect. You need to keep showing up for yourself.


This month, commit to something that makes you stronger—physically, mentally, and emotionally. And if you’re looking for support, our curated men’s wellness lineup— Plant-Based Protein, Vita Whey, Creatine+, and Bone Broth Collagen is here to help you stay strong, fueled, and thriving.
