Our Mission

Creating an environment for men to explore their health

Imagine having a male friend or family member you care immensely for, and almost over night their health begins to decline. Over a short time, simple tasks like taking out the garbage, going up a flight of stairs and even bathing become difficult. Now imagine they are given a life altering diagnosis but the physicians do not have time to fully answer questions due to fast paced working conditions. In addition, there is a new cocktail of medications to manage their condition. Between the new diagnosis, medications and fear of the unknown there is a great deal of confusion and for this man and his family.

This is Patrick’s men’s health igniting experience and the male figure in the scenario was his grandfather.

Men’s Health Unscripted was formed while Patrick was in Pharmacy School, he noticed from observations in the field and experiences like the one above, there was an opportunity to assume a leadership role and be a voice for men in a space where education and empowerment is so desperately needed!

When you think about how men view themselves and how the media markets to us, what are the major points hit?

Erectile dysfunction medication and hair loss treatment.

It is our MISSION to show men that we are more than the superficial perception of “dick pills and hair loss.” Creating a space for men to explore their physical and mental health in a judgement free zone is the highlight of our work here at Men’s Health Unscripted. We believe that shedding previous perceptions as men will allow us to enjoy more robust relationships where healthy discussions about physical, mental and emotional health can grow a community of amazing men that are ready to give back to the world in the most positive ways. We believe our value is our extensive training in healthcare, as pharmacists we have a superior knowledge of medications and lifestyle management techniques that encourage disease prevention over disease maintenance.

Heart Disease? Diabetes? Erectile dysfunction? Low libido? Prostate and Testicular Cancer? The list is almost endless! The gaps in patient education surrounding these issues leave men to fight their battles alone and face stigmas when it comes to their health. The stigmas associated with men’s healthcare discourage preventative doctor visits, verbalizing new or worsening issues, and lower their overall confidence. These stigmas threaten an individual’s physical, social, and mental health, and can extend into their personal relationships.

Men’s Health Unscripted was founded to educate and empower men and their families on the potential perils of ignoring their health and the benefits of taking action! Through open discussions, community events, local and distant partnerships, and student opportunities, men and their families can acquire the education and empowerment necessary for good health and happiness for a lifetime!
