We’ve noticed there’s a problem, women typically live longer than men. Among those over 100 years old, 85% are women.

Here are a just a few reasons for this oh so unfair fact of life:

Men don’t deal with stress as well as women
- Men are more prone to internalizing stress than to letting go.
Men smoke more than women.
- Fortunately men are smoking less and less these days, but it’s still a problem
Men tend to eat more foods that aren’t health supportive.
On average men develop cardiovascular disease about 10 years earlier than women.
- In part, this is because women are typically more deficient in iron than men are, due to menstruation. Excess iron can play a significant role in cellular damage.
Historically men are prone to more dangerous behavior then women.
- Damn you testosterone!
Men are less likely to ask for help, or see a Dr. or other health and wellness practitioner.
- This is another stat that is also improving but not quickly enough.

How we can help you.

As bad as things seem when it comes to our health, the fact that most disease as we know it today can be reversed should be reason to celebrate!

Even if you feel you can’t do it today there are more and more resources, groups, and wellness experts (yep, that’s us) that you can turn to in order to help you achieve your health and lifestyle goals.

Michael DeSanti and I met at Joe Cross’s (of Fat Sick and Nearly Dead Documentary) Camp Reboot last year where we worked as health coaches on his team. We bonded over green juice, good conversation and quickly realized we had a lot in common. We noticed that among the coaches and the attendants the overwhelming majority where women. Where were all the men? Beyond weight lifting magazines, and supplement ads men are being largely left out of the conversation of health and wellness. We decided to fix this.

That’s how The Vital Guide was born.
