NEWSLETTER ISSUE 05 / JUNE 2026 WWW.HEALTHYWAY-PSI.COM MEN’S HEALTH MONTH Men’s Be Well Health Win: Consistency Creates Change After a routine doctor's visit in November 2024, Joey Pavone decided it was time to make a change. Starting in January 2025, he committed to improving his health and has since lost more than 85 pounds through consistent, sustainable habits. His biggest success came from focusing on portion control and listening to his body when he felt full. Joey is a foodie and tries to avoid an “all or nothing” approach to food choices. "When I wanted to satisfy a craving, I would just choose a smaller portion." Even with a busy schedule as a Project Manager, he found ways to make healthier choices while on the road—opting for lower-calorie meals and skipping extras like fries. "I'm still on a weight-loss journey," he shared. "It has been great seeing the dedication and work I've put in and how I've transformed since then. I'm really looking forward to getting a new company picture and comparing them side by side." Congratulations on an incredible accomplishment so far! Your dedication is an inspiration and a reminder that every healthy choice can add up to lasting change.

Adhering to a healthy lifestyle can help you avoid becoming part of a statistic. In addition to regular exercise and a balanced diet, it's important to stay on top of preventive care. Scheduling a yearly physical exam allows your doctor to monitor key health indicators like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Men should also stay current with age-appropriate screenings, including prostate exams, colonoscopies, and skin checks. These routine visits can catch potential health issues early—when they’re most treatable— and are a vital part of protecting your long- term health.

5 Ways to Stay Cool Under Summer Pressure Summer often brings a welcome change of pace with warmer weather, longer days, vacation plans and more time outdoors. However, it can also introduce new stressors for many individuals. Whether balancing work responsibilities with family schedules, coping with the heat or dealing with travel logistics, summer can feel anything but relaxing. Try out these strategies to manage seasonal stress so it doesn’t manage you: Set boundaries with your time. Summer calendars can fill up quickly. As such, be intentional about what you commit to and don’t hesitate to say no to events or obligations that feel overwhelming. Plan ahead for family and travel logistics. If you’re managing kids on summer break or planning trips, get organized early. Clear communication with your team and family can help reduce last-minute confusion, tension and stress. Use vacation time wisely. It’s important not to let your paid time off go unused. Even a short break or a staycation can help you recharge. When you’re off, try to disconnect and allow yourself to relax. Practice mindfulness or light exercise. Movement is medicine, so incorporate light physical activity into your day. Short mindfulness practices can also help you stay calm and grounded, lowering stress levels.. Limit alcohol and caffeine. Summer socializing often includes more drinks, but too much caffeine or alcohol can disrupt your sleep cycle and increase anxiety. Stay mindful of your intake and balance alcoholic beverages with plenty of water.
