This June, we're sharing insights from clinicians across our Dignity Health Medical Groups on topics that are crucial to men's health. Earlier this month we heard from clinicians specializing in cardiology, behavioral health and urology about important reminders for men in each of their respective areas.

Studies show that men tend to visit doctors less than women. Routine checkups are key to finding problems before they turn into major health issues. We caught up with Joshua Ostrue, DO, a Family Medicine physician with Dignity Health Woodland Clinic about other important health considerations and screenings men should be aware of.

Hey folks, Board-Certified Health Coach Erin Power is here to answer your questions about Primal dating. If you're wondering when and how to "break the news," we've got strategies, tips, and backup! Have a question you'd like to ask our health coaches? Leave it below in the comments or over in the Mark's Daily Apple Facebook group. Cara asked: "I've been Primal for a year and honestly never felt better! It was hard at first but now comes naturally and makes me feel so much lighter. I also lost 10 pounds, which doesn't hurt! The problem: I'm newly single and on dating apps. I don't want to turn guys off by being high maintenance. Do I mention I'm Primal in my profile? Or wait until the first date? Or wait to see how things go? Help!" First, congrats on your year of Primal eating and living, Cara! How wonderful that you feel lighter and better. Huge recognition as well for exploring this question and considering how eating and lifestyle plays a role in dating and relationships. Feeling healthy and more confident and comfortable in one's body can be so attractive. It creates the sort of compelling radiance that goes beyond "objective" indicators like body weight or beauty. Not only that, but a little boost of confidence goes a long way as you enter the dating pool. Anyway, onto the matter at hand: how to navigate declaring your Primal status to would-be suitors. Ask and Tell. Or... Don't. These days, it's far more common for people to ask about and mention their "eating identities" or preferences when sharing a meal with someone for the first time. While we're focused on dating here, this applies to new friends, acquaintances, and colleagues too. The point is, choosing to eat a particular way is hardly unusual these days. That said, I totally get how navigating conversations around food and lifestyle can be tricky in any relationship—perhaps all the more so when newly dating. The good news is, you're arriving with a blank slate and fresh start. As a Primal Health Coach, I work with many clients who are making changes and struggle to explain their new Primal ways to partners, friends, and family members. If it's important to you, you'll want to share this aspect of yourself with acquaintances, new and old. But there's another option here: Just don't say anything at all. At least, not right away. It may not be necessary. The person you're out on a date with probably won't notice anything is amiss with your eating habits. If you order a big ass salad, a delicious steak, or a low-sugar cocktail at a restaurant, it's not going to raise any red flags. Decide to forgo the bread basket? No problem: avoiding or limiting bread is becoming increasingly common in non-Primal circles too. Priorities and Values Beyond that, you likely want to be with someone whose priorities and values are similar to your own. This doesn't mean that they have to … Continue reading "Ask a Health Coach: Primal Dating"

Massages are expensive. And your favorite place is always booked. But there's a reason why many top athletes get massages every single day: they improve recovery, assist in healing, and increase mobilization of your joints and muscles. While most of us can't get massages as often as we'd like, we can obtain some of the benefits by performing self myofascial release on ourselves. What is Self Myofascial Release? Self myofascial release, or SMR is a type of self-massage that focuses on adhesions, knots, or tender spots in the muscle—and the fascia that surrounds and envelopes it—often using tools or implements to effect real change. The popular conception is that SMR is "breaking up" muscle knots in a real physical sense, but this probably isn't the case. What you're doing is triggering a neuromuscular response that reduces the tenderness and allows better, more fluid movement through the affected tissues. You're "teaching" your nervous system not to tense up and tighten when the tissue is poked and prodded or movement is initiated. You're blunting the pain and wiping the movement pattern slate clean so that you can then go in and establish a new, better pattern. How to Do Self Myofascial Release the Right Way The way most people I see do SMR is they sit on the foam roller (or lacrosse ball, or whatever tool you're using) for an hour, exploring all their tissues, hitting every body part and being extremely thorough. Sounds great, but it's the wrong way. Basically, you don't want to turn self myofascial release into a total body workout in and of itself, because you're negating the real opportunity the practice presents. Mobilization before training SMR works best on a short time horizon. When you hit a tender spot and it starts feeling better, you should immediately work that tissue—preferably under load. This helps establish a healthier, better movement pattern. You're effectively wiping the movement pattern slate clean and then establishing a superior one. The thing is that the effect SMR is fleeting. If you wait too long to train a movement after hitting an area, the "neuromuscular inhibiting effect" disappears, or at least diminishes. Sit on the lacrosse ball, hit the foam roller, or whichever implement you want and then immediately after load the tissues you just "released." This will entrain the movement patterns you just opened up and begin mobilizing the tissues the way they're designed to move. If you mobilized your shoulders, immediately hit some rows, pull-ups, pushups, and/or presses. If you mobilized your hips or calves, do some squats. Whatever movements the tissues were inhibiting or "making sticky," do those movements and begin entraining newer, healthier patterns. There isn't a lot of compelling clinical research support for self myofascial release, and I think the primary reason is that people aren't doing it the right way. They aren't "releasing" the tissue and then loading it with resistance training in order to "cement" the improved movement pattern. Stress release after a long day It also … Continue reading "Best Tools for Self Myofascial Release"
