Health after 40
Health After 40 for Men.
Most men find out about their health after 40 the same way: a routine checkup, a pharmacy blood pressure cuff, or a blood test that comes back with a number circled. These guides explain what those numbers are about, what research says exercise and eating can do for them, and where a coach’s job ends and your doctor’s begins.
Nothing here replaces your family doctor. Your doctor diagnoses and treats; the pages describe what Canadian health organizations and published studies say about training and food alongside that care.
Start with what actually changes in a man’s body at 40, which separates real age effects from habits that look like ageing. If you’ve been given a specific result, go straight to exercising with high blood pressure or prediabetes exercise and diet. If the question is simply whether your weight is a problem, read how much a 45-year-old man should weigh.
When your doctor has cleared you to train and you want a structured plan for training, food and habits over several months, that’s what FITWITHIM coaching is built for.
