- A New Chapter in Men’s Health Advocacy: 2025 Congressional Men’s Health Caucus Reforms and Rallies SupportThis link opens in a new windowMay 5, 2025Through partnering with the 2025 Congressional Men's Health Caucus, together we can recognizable pattern of neglecting men's and boys' issues—a pattern often driven by the mistaken belief that giving attention to men’s struggles takes something away from other important efforts. As the Caucus continues its work through the remainder of the 118th Congress, it does so with deep respect for the leaders who paved the way—especially Rep. Donald Payne Jr., whose advocacy helped put men’s health on the national stage. Now, a new generation is stepping in—not only on Capitol Hill, but across the country. Nonprofits, doctors, teachers, coaches, and families are joining forces to create a healthier future for our sons, fathers, brothers, and partners.
- The Role of Lifestyle Choices in Men’s Health: Nutrition, Exercise, & BeyondThis link opens in a new windowApr 22, 2025You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. Start small. Pick one habit this week—meal prep, daily walks, earlier bedtime—and commit to it. Over time, these small wins compound into real, measurable health improvements. Yet many men are still unaware of just how impactful their habits can be. The good news? Even small, consistent changes can lead to significant improvements in overall well-being. In this article, I’ll outline the evidence-based lifestyle pillars that support physical, mental, and metabolic health in men—and offer practical strategies to start improving them today.
- Testicular Cancer Awareness Month 2025: Start the Conversation, Save a LifeThis link opens in a new windowApr 17, 2025Every year, we promote awareness around April being Testicular Cancer Awareness Month (TCa). TCa is a young man's disease and still largely stigmatized. We believe that creating a culture of prevention starts with families, communities, and personal connections. MHN encourages parents and caregivers to integrate discussions about testicular cancer into everyday life. It's also important to use April as a time of spreading care, awareness, empathy, support, and funding for important men's health topics, including Testicular Health and Wellness.

That’s roughly 33 million people grappling with persistent sleeplessness, often tied to stress, anxiety, or medical conditions.
