As Men's Health Week 2025 wraps up, remember that taking a proactive approach to your health is a year-round responsibility.

From Daz's "she'll be right, mate" attitude to Josh's latest podcast "health hack" with a promo code attached, questionable health advice is everywhere. Before you take their advice, take it to your doctor. Know where to go when it comes to your health.

By checking in with your GP at least once every 12 months, you'll build a relationship that helps you feel confident when health concerns arise.

Before you take their advice, take it to your doctor 🩺️

From your mate's "she'll be right" attitude to the chaos of a comment section, everyone has an opinion on your health. But when was the last time you got advice from a real expert?

Around two-thirds of Aussie blokes don't see a doctor straight away when they notice a problem, which can ultimately make it worse. In the lead up to Men's Health Week, we're encouraging you to know where to go when it comes to your health.

Though there are challenges, we're here to help make seeing a doctor as hassle-free as possible. Whether it’s a new symptom or a regular check-up — your doctor can catch the serious things early and help you manage the less serious things easier.

A shoutout to our friends at Healthy Male who have this week launched their Check Your Balls campaign, giving men the tools and timely reminders to check their testicles regularly.

Testicular self-examinations are quick, easy and the best way to spot the early signs of testicular cancer. While it's one of the most common cancers for men in their 20s and 30s, most cases are caught early and curable when you notice a change in your testicles and see a doctor quickly.

So, get a step-by-step guide to checking your balls properly, sign up for regular reminders to get the job done and learn what to do if you spot something new. Just head to www.healthymale.org.au/checkyourballs

And if you've got a few seconds free? Go check your balls now.
