Josh Whalen, CEO & Founder of Blokes, thought there had to be a better way than sterile clinics and subpar services in order to optimize men's health. Blokes connects you with licensed providers and provides customized treatments to support better focus, strength and recovery so you can feel like you again.
His journey to creating Blokes started a few years ago when he started feeling, well, old. He's talking low energy, lack of focus, a dwindling drive, and yep, some failure to launch. Every treatment he sought either gave him a one-size-fits-all approach or told him to accept this new normal. As you can imagine, he didn’t.
Failing to accept the norm wasn't new for him. When he was starting out, he was fired from more jobs than he could count. He was always pushing himself hard with larger-than-life goals for his life and career. So early on, he decided to become an entrepreneur and drive his own destiny. Now with Blokes, they're creating the future of men’s health care.
Josh shares valuable insight into what's missing for men's health today and how personalized medicine is key. He strives to help men through lab testing, healthy lifestyle changes, optimized dietary changes, hormone replacement therapy and peptides.
