Studies show that men are more reluctant to go to the doctor, leading to bigger problems later in life. So June was declared National Men’s Health Month to raise awareness about health issues all men face and encourage men and boys to keep up with regular checkups and screenings. But it’s never a bad time to examine exercise routines, nutrition, mental health, and social health, too; men’s health isn’t just about avoiding diseases. These four podcasts are dedicated to an all-around look at men’s health, covering not only sweet workout tips and supplement advice, but also digging into the psyche, overcoming obstacles, looking at men’s experience with parenting and marriage, male friendships, and more. Listen, learn, and get hot as health!

Psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb and therapist Guy Winch have been helping people for years through their advice columns. But on their podcast Dear Therapists, they get to go a lot deeper with their “fellow travelers’” problems. Each episode, they tackle an issue – cheating spouses, DNA bombshells, gender transitions, relationship issues, parenting problems, chronic illness – guiding the caller in real time. But they also invite them back to share what worked, what didn’t, and how it all worked out. The stories are interesting enough to get you hooked, but you’ll be surprised what you can learn about yourself and your own issues by listening to how others work out their own.
