Welcome to the 4th edition of our newsletter.
In recognition of Men’s Health Week 2025 at The Wellman Clinic, we’re highlighting key health issues that affect men and introducing a new hormone screening service.
Men’s Health Week: A Time to Prioritise Your Health
This week is International Men’s Health Week — a crucial reminder for men everywhere to take charge of their health and well-being.
At The Wellman Clinic, we’re using this week to raise awareness about the health challenges men face and to encourage proactive steps toward better physical and mental health. Men are statistically less likely to seek medical help, often waiting until symptoms become severe before visiting a doctor. This delay can lead to preventable health issues going undetected for far too long.
Why Men’s Health Week Matters
Men’s Health Week shines a light on conditions that commonly affect men, including:
Heart disease — the leading cause of death among men worldwide
Prostate and testicular cancer — highly treatable if detected early
Mental health issues — often under-recognised and undertreated in men
Diabetes and obesity — manageable and often preventable with early intervention
This week is about more than just awareness — it’s about action!
What You Can Do
Schedule a check up — Whether it’s been a year or a decade, now is the time to book an appointment.
Get screened — Talk to your doctor about prostate health, cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes screening.
Talk openly — Mental health is just as important as physical health. Don’t be afraid to speak to one of our team or a friend if you’re struggling. Check in on your mates.
Move more — Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week.
Eat smarter — Focus on whole foods, lean proteins, and reduce your intake of processed foods and added sugars.
Know Your Numbers
This year’s theme is “Know Your Numbers” — emphasising the importance of being aware of key health stats like blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), and blood sugar. Understanding these can help prevent major health issues before they start.
We encourage partners, friends, and families to support the men in their lives by encouraging them to take action. Health is not a solo journey — it’s a community effort.
Your health is your greatest asset. At Wellman Clinic, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Appointments available now. Contact us today to book.

Understanding Male Hormone Health: Why Hormone Screening Matters
Hormones are the body’s internal messengers, influencing everything from mood and sleep to muscle mass and libido. For men, testosterone plays a central role in energy, vitality, and mental sharpness — yet imbalances are often overlooked.
Our new Male Hormone Health Screening makes it easier to detect underlying hormonal issues early, helping you feel and function at your best.
Why Should Men Consider Hormone Screening?
Unexplained fatigue or low energy — Even after rest, persistent tiredness can signal low testosterone.
Reduced muscle mass or strength — Struggling to build or maintain muscle may point to hormonal imbalance.
Low libido or erectile dysfunction — Often caused by low testosterone or related issues.
Mood changes — Irritability, low mood, or anxiety can stem from hormone shifts.
Weight gain (especially around the abdomen) — Linked to testosterone deficiency.
Hair thinning or skin changes — Sometimes an early sign of imbalance.
🌟 New: Introductory Male Hormone Screening
A quick, comprehensive check to assess your hormonal health.
What’s Included:
Initial 30-minute consultation: Meet with the specialist doctor to discuss your concerns and review your medical history.
Male Hormone Blood Tests: We will check your serum testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin and free androgen index and provide interpretation.
What Happens If an Imbalance Is Found?
The treatment depends on the type and severity of the imbalance. Common approaches include:

- Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT): For men with clinically low testosterone.

Final Thoughts
Your hormone health plays a critical role in how you feel, look, and perform. A male hormone health screening is a powerful first step toward identifying hidden imbalances and optimising your physical and mental performance.
If you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms or simply want to take a proactive approach to your health, talk to us about scheduling an appointment. It’s a small step that could lead to big improvements in your overall well-being.
