Turning 40 is a milestone—but it’s also a good time to give your health a proper check-in. At Ready Health Private Medical Clinic in Standish, we encourage men to take their health seriously, especially as they enter their 40s and beyond. Prevention is key, and a quick check-up can make a big difference.

Why Focus on Men's Health at 40 and Up?

As men age, the risk of certain health conditions increases. Catching issues early—or preventing them altogether—leads to better outcomes and a better quality of life.

Key Health Checks for Men Over 40

Here’s what we usually recommend:

1. Blood Pressure Check

High blood pressure often has no symptoms but can lead to heart disease or stroke. A quick check tells us a lot.

2. Cholesterol and Heart Health

We can measure cholesterol levels and assess your risk of heart problems.

3. Diabetes Screening

Type 2 diabetes is common in men over 40. A blood test checks your risk—even before symptoms appear.

4. Prostate Health

We’ll discuss any urinary symptoms and may recommend a PSA test, especially if there’s a family history.

5. Weight, BMI, and Lifestyle Review

Your GP will talk through diet, activity, alcohol, and stress, and offer practical advice tailored to you.

6. Mental Health Check-In

Stress, low mood, and anxiety often go unspoken. But your mental wellbeing matters just as much as physical health.

What Happens During a Health Check?

It’s relaxed and straightforward. We’ll ask some questions, take your measurements, maybe do a blood test—and that’s it. You’ll walk away with a clearer picture of your health and simple steps to stay on track.

Time to Put Your Health First

If you’ve been putting off a check-up or just want to stay ahead of the game, we’re here to help. Book your male health check with Ready Health in Standish and let’s take care of you.
