Free Health Screenings for Veterans and Public Servants This Month

As a veteran of Operation Desert Storm, providing free health screenings to St. Louis servicemen is an honor but also an obligation. MMi is committed to educating our St. Louis heroes on the importance of addressing testosterone deficiency as it relates to living an overall healthier and active lifestyle. In order to do this, Men’s Medical Institute (MMi) will provide free health screenings for active and retired U.S. Military servicemen, Police, Fire and EMS personnel in St. Louis throughout the month of May in honor of National Military Appreciation Month. MMi is located at 1062 Old Des Peres Road and is the first organization in the St. Louis metropolitan area dedicated exclusively to the treatment of testosterone deficiency (Low-T) in men.

St. Louis Fire, Police, EMS personnel and U.S. Military servicemen, both active and retired, can visit Men’s Medical Institute through May 31 and receive a free blood draw to determine levels of testosterone. MMi will also screen for various illnesses and diseases, including thyroid dysfunction, anemia and prostate cancer before symptoms occur. In addition, new patients will receive half-off of their first month’s treatment plan.

A few, quick facts on testosterone deficiency:

• Testosterone fuels protein production, muscle development and energy production, where levels peak at age thirty and decrease each year by one to two percent.
• Without the proper testosterone levels, men over 30 will see a decline in muscle function, problems with concentration, sleep and mental sharpness and a decrease in stamina and endurance.
• Recent studies reveal that low testosterone levels are associated with increased mortality in male veterans.
• In recent years, links between low testosterone levels and obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, frailty and osteoporosis have come to light in clinical and epidemiologic studies. Even in young men, testosterone levels are positively correlated with bone size, and Low-T in men is a risk factor for hip fractures.
