Men's health awareness and disease prevention

June is Men's Health Month. Life expectancy for men lags five years behind the life expectancy for women in the United States.

Even though men face many specific health challenges, there's a lack of awareness and disease prevention early on. Researchers say there's a need for more attention to men's health.

On today's show, we discuss how men can better care for their physical and mental health — and fight stigma.
