Men’s Health on the Frontlines, with Dr. Michael Lutz

Описание: In this episode, we welcome Dr. Michael Lutz, a retired urologist and President of the Michigan Men’s Health Foundation, to discuss men’s health, prevention, and the long-term health risks faced by first responders. Drawing on more than 40 years of experience in Metro Detroit, Dr. Lutz focuses on prostate cancer screening, early detection, and preventive care. We examine how shift work, disrupted sleep, chronic stress, environmental exposures, and workplace culture increase risks for cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, hormonal imbalance, and mental health challenges, and why routine screenings are often delayed due to stigma and misconceptions about masculinity. Dr. Lutz also explains how the Michigan Men’s Health Foundation provides free, community-based screenings across Michigan, helping reduce barriers to care while reinforcing prevention as an essential part of long-term health for those on the frontlines.
