While the campaign is often associated with Western countries, Indian men are slowly but surely embracing this wellness revolution in their own culturally rooted yet modern ways.

In 2025, Men are redefining what it means to be healthy—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. From fitness routines and balanced diets to therapy sessions and hormone check-ups, the Indian male wellness narrative is becoming more holistic than ever before.

The Traditional Stigma Around Men’s Health in India

Historically, health has never been a priority for many Indian men. Societal norms have long pressured them to be stoic providers, often pushing their physical and emotional needs to the backseat. Talking about mental health, undergoing regular check-ups, or even acknowledging fatigue was often seen as weakness.

However, this narrative is now shifting—especially among millennials and Gen Z men—thanks to increased awareness, social media influence, and a growing wellness industry that no longer caters exclusively to women.

3. Nutrition: Beyond Protein Shakes

Healthier food choices are becoming a lifestyle among urban Indian men. While protein still rules the male nutrition conversation, there’s more attention being paid to gut health, balanced meals, mindful eating, and much more.

4. Hormonal Health and Preventive Check-Ups

With rising awareness around testosterone, cholesterol, and heart health, more Indian men in their late 20s and early 30s are now proactively going in for annual health screenings, hormonal blood panels, prostate and heart check-ups and are also consulting regarding sexual health.

Millennial dads are redefining masculinity and wellness by being more involved in parenting and prioritizing work-life balance. Many new fathers are opting for paternity leaves, parenting therapy, and mindfulness activities with their children.

This shift is promoting emotional bonding and reducing the generational cycle of suppressed feelings among men.

This Men’s Health Month, the message is clear: Men are not only waking up to the importance of well-being but, they're owning it. Whether it’s hitting the yoga mat, going to therapy, or simply talking about their feelings, men are stepping into a healthier, more conscious version of themselves.
