The poor health status of men in Australia is partly due to men not being proactive about their health and leading a lifestyle which will prolong health and reduce the risk factors for preventable disease. Every hour five men die in Australia from potentially preventable causes. Men have higher death rates than women for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, accidents and suicide.

Australian men also have a higher incidence of depression, other mental illness, suicide and substance abuse than Australian women. Gerard is committed to providing Naturopathic advice on lifestyle changes that will help treat or minimise the risk of developing depression, anxiety, stress and panic disorder. Getting adequate intake of certain vitamins and amino acids is essential in the treatment of depression to ensure the production neurotransmitters such as serotonin. Gerard uses specific Naturopathic supplements to correct any vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
