"Man Overboard!" by Craig L. Bowron, M.D., is written from a centrist point of view. That's because, generally speaking, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. You don't want high blood pressure, but you don't want low blood pressure, either. Right in the middle is good. You want a strong heart, but if it gets too muscular, it gets stiff and then it doesn't work right. Thyroid function? Middle, please. Too much and you get wired up like a meth addict without the dental issues. Too little and you start to feel cold, slow, and pudgy.
Staying healthy is serious business, but it doesn't have to be boring. Informative and entertaining, "Man Overboard!" provides clear and actionable advice, so you can stop worrying about your health and do something about it. In chapters like "Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs," "Andropause," "Sexercise," and "Move It or Lose It," you'll learn how to:
- Reduce risk of heart disease
- Manage your weight
- Deal with back pain
- Avoid the three cancers that men commonly develop
- Know if your T levels are right
- Cope with thinning hair
- Handle getting older – not unscathed, but with a sense of control and dignity
Think of "Man Overboard!" as the ultimate checklist for your next checkup. Grab yourself a beverage and a flimsy paper gown, and let’s do this!

More about "Man Overboard!"
"Man Overboard!" is an entertaining read, and it is for every man—regardless of skin color, nationality, sexual orientation, culture, body shape/BMI, hair pattern, shoe size, or IPA preference. Most of the health outcomes attributed to race are either due to culture-related health behaviors (dietary habits, for instance) or so-called social determinants of health: poverty, lack of access to healthy food, health care, etc. We are remarkably the same on the inside. And so the words inside "Man Overboard!" are for every man.
