Looking for Guest Bloggers on Men’s Health

I mange a popular men’s health blog, Talking About Men’s Health (talkingaboutmenshealth.com) and am looking for guest bloggers. You’ll be in good company: Sam Feuss has done a series of interviews for us and Barry Birkett has contributed several great pieces. My definition of “men’s health” is pretty broad, and includes lifestyle, fitness, nutrition, policy, mental health, physical health, relationships, etc. Pretty much anything as long as it deals with men. We even have pieces aimed at women who are looking for ways to help or better understand men. Please let me know if you’re up for a guest post. And feel free to pass this on to anyone you know who might be interested.     Armin Brott Dad of three, best-selling author, speaker, nationally syndicated columnist and radio host, Marine Corps vet, spokesperson, and, generally speaking, a pretty nice guy.

Section 3 – About a Father

In order to follow this post, you should read post 1 and 2 first. Post 1. Post 2. ============ My response, and I will never forget this as long as I live was… “school”.  I went to school full time, worked full time, and studied in my free time.  By this point, we had two kids and my daughter would be over on the weekends. Moving forward.  I got sick in 1999.  Very sick.  Death bed kind of sick.  The doctors transferred me to a different medical center for further care because they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. Before they medivaced me, they told me “you are going to be changing hospitals, before you go, we thought you might say good bye to your kids.” Talk about a kick in the nuts.  I am sorry.  Talk about a kick in the gut.  At this point, I had
