We’re on a mission to change this.
So we’ve opened The Brothers’ Arms - Britain’s first men’s health pub, dedicated fully to the wellbeing of men in our communities.
Max Dickins - Author, Speaker, Screenwriter
Too often conversations about 'masculinity' are about the extremes. They often they don't include the voices of men in the messy middle. Men like you. Join us for a collective conversation where you can share where you stand on a topic by virtue of where you stand in the room. Expect laughter, inspiration and a really welcoming space for all attendees – not just men.
Steve Cardwell - The Thought PT
When was the last time you put yourself first? If you’re a dad, the answer is probably “I don’t remember.” Join us for an important conversation led by Steve Cardwell, the Thought PT – a coach who helps busy, ambitious dads build resilience, set boundaries, and live with purpose. This isn’t about being selfish – it’s about being deliberate.
Bob Stamegna - MAN V FAT Coach
Alan Fagan - MAN V FAT Member
Since 2014, MAN v FAT has helped thousands of men shed pounds. But its real strength lies in the power of community. Hear from Bob about his journey of beating prostate cancer with the backing of his clubmates, and how Alan overcame agoraphobia and found a new lease of life through the camaraderie of the program.
Helen Lake - Urology Nurse
Do you know what goes on ‘below the belt’? Would you recognise the signs if something was wrong? Join The Urology Foundation for The Big Flow – a relaxed and revealing pub quiz tackling men’s urology health. With plenty of myths floating around, we’re here to set the record straight and help you look after your body. This pub quiz may just save your life.
Prof. Albert Ferro - Cardiologist & Chair, Healthy Heart Trust
Bob Cutting - Organiser, The Brothers' Arms
Join us for a hearty Sunday takeover at The Brothers’ Arms, where we’re putting your heart health front and centre. Grab your Sunday lunch with friends and family and get to know some key facts about heart disease and men’s cardiovascular health. With expert advice, personal experiences and free blood pressure testing throughout the day.
Ben Akers - Director, Steve and Founder, Talk Club
What’s killing 12 men a day in the UK? Join us for Steve – a powerful documentary about male mental health and suicide prevention. After the screening, Director, Ben Akers will join us for an in-person Q&A, sharing more about his journey and the incredible growth of Talk Club, a male mental health charity helping men talk and take action.
Dr Janine David - GP specialising in sexual health
Ben Akers - Founder of Talk Club
Is there such a thing as the male menopause? Join us for a thought-provoking evening exploring how declining testosterone levels in middle-aged men can impact everything from libido and mental health to relationships and physical wellbeing. Let’s open the conversation on a topic too often ignored and help men take control of their health.
Keep up-to-speed with all the news and views from The Brothers' Arms
We’ve also collected a few articles on some of the most burning topics in men’s health.
Globally, men live on average 5 years fewer than women. And largely due to preventable reasons. Men are often less informed about health issues and less likely to seek help - 64% of men wait more than 7 days with symptoms before visiting the doctor. So, at Androlabs, our mission is to:
Increase knowledge and shine a light on overlooked men’s health issues
Challenge stereotypes and create an environment where men are comfortable being vulnerable
Provide products and services that help improve the overall wellbeing of men
Stand up and advocate for every man
We believe that every man, regardless of background, identity or journey, deserves access to the right tools and support to prioritise their health.
