Men’s health changes with age—and so should screening.
In your 20s–30s: focus on baseline labs like cholesterol, blood sugar/insulin, thyroid, and testosterone if symptoms are present. This is the time to establish your personal “normal.”
In your 40s: prioritize metabolic and cardiovascular health, along with liver function, sleep, and early prostate risk assessment based on history.
In your 50s+: expand screening to include prostate and colorectal cancer screening, advanced lipid testing, glucose control, inflammation, and hormone changes that impact energy, strength, and cognition.
Foothills Functional Medicine goes beyond “normal labs” to look at patterns over time catching imbalance early and optimizing long-term health.
