MTD Radio Weekend Edition – New Mexico and West Texas
Men in New Mexico are 33 percent less likely than women to see a doctor — and on average, they’re living almost five years less. This week, Dr. Jaren Trost, Senior Medical Director at Optum Health New Mexico, joins Weekend Edition to unpack why men avoid checkups, what’s really driving the gap, and what men across the state can start doing today to change those numbers.
Then, talking about Senior Health and Fitness, Dr. Matthew McGlothlin, Primary Care Medical Director at Optum New Mexico, explains why staying active may be the single best thing older adults can do for themselves — and why physical, mental, and social health are all tied together as New Mexico’s population continues to age.
Two conversations, one theme: taking care of yourself isn’t optional. Tune in to this week’s Weekend Edition — all the people, places, things and events going on in New Mexico and beyond that have a direct impact on New Mexicans.
