THE ULTIMATE MEN'S HEALTH GUY 2023
Men's Health US|January - February 2023
WE'VE ASKED OURSELVES that question a million times over the past few months as thousands of readers shared their stories with us and showed us all the ways they're crushing life.
THE ULTIMATE MEN'S HEALTH GUY 2023

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE THE ULTIMATE MEN'S HEALTH GUY?

These guys are physically and mentally fit, successful and generous, and inspiring others through their dedication to becoming faster, stronger, and better. They're guys like Corwyn Collier, an Army veteran who rebuilt his body after surviving an IED explosion and is now a teacher; Felipe Proaño, a climber and adventurer who will change how you think about the planet; and Brad Schaeffer, D.P.M., a Manhattan podiatrist and an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.

At MH, we spend more time exploring how guys today are better at being guys-better partners, fathers, and friends as well as fuller and more authentic versions of themselves than pretty much ever before, and we see that progress reflected in Corwyn's, Brad's, and Felipe's lives. So many of the expectations and obstacles that have limited us in the past are falling away-sometimes by the brute force of action, sometimes by the gentle hand of time and in so many ways, things are looking up.

In other ways, well...some stats: To be a man today is to face greater risk of being a victim of suicide or gun violence. To be a man today means you're more likely to be unemployed. Our life expectancies are declining. If you're a Black or brown man, or a gay or bisexual or trans man, the amount of hostility, unfairness, and grade-A bullshit you have to deal with every single day is unacceptable.
