Summary

Man Alive: A Doctor’s Guide to Men’s Health and Longevity

Being a man is statistically bad for your health. Men face a higher risk for almost every illness, and their lifespans are, on average, shorter than women’s – a trend that has persisted for centuries. The differences in susceptibility to life-threatening diseases are alarming. Men are significantly more likely to die from heart disease and cancer, and they die on average three years sooner.

Critics Review

MAN ALIVE provides the ultimate guide on how to stay healthy as a man, both physically and mentally. A thought-provoking and informative read that gives every man the tools he needs to live a healthier, happier and longer life – Jason Fox, ex-special forces and bestselling authorDr Foster’s excellent book MAN ALIVE is both timely and transformational. Accessible, fascinating and clearly explained, it contains everything a man could need to stay heads up, happy and heedful. Read it guys! – Dr Hilary JonesMAN ALIVE is an immensely useful and practical guide, answering the questions that every man has about their day-to-day health. Dr Jeff Foster brings to life issues that men should know about (but mostly don’t), explaining and advising in a clear and relatable way. It’s a book that you will refer to again and again – Ian MarberThis is a fabulous book for all men (and women) to read. There is so much information written in a clear and comprehensive style supported by the current evidence. Men’s health is often neglected and so many men avoid going to the doctors as they fear their concerns are either embarrassing or they will not be taken seriously. This book will empower men with the right information to change this – Dr Louise NewsonA brilliant book: as important and engaging as checking my own balls – Russell Kane

About The Author

Dr Jeff Foster

Dr Jeff Foster completed an honours degree in Physiology at Kings College London before studying medicine and qualifying in 2004. In addition to his work as a General Practitioner, Dr Foster also worked as a senior doctor in a busy Accident and Emergency department at Coventry hospital until 2017.

Through his work in general practice, Dr Foster developed an interest in men’s health. After realising that men’s health was not a dedicated speciality within medicine, Dr Foster created such a position to provide a holistic approach to the care of his male patients. Since then, Dr Foster has opened two private Men’s Health clinics and has been involved in developing and promoting Men’s Health at both a local and national level. He has written medical articles on various male health topics such as testosterone deficiency and erectile dysfunction, as well as promoting awareness of prostate cancer and giving talks to the local community.

In addition, Dr Foster regularly writes and contributes to articles at a national level on all aspects of health and wellbeing. In the last year, Dr Foster has had publications in the Sunday Mirror, The Guardian, Woman and Home Magazine, Take a Break, Reader’s Digest, The Evening Standard, HuffPost, The Telegraph, and The Daily Mail.
