National Tourism Award Winner - Best Wellness Centre
Do men delay addressing their wellness needs? Well, not at Atmantan atleast… In fact today, more and more men are proactively recognising the importance of self-wellbeing and choosing a preventive and holistic approach.
Research shows that 95% of men consider a healthy lifestyle their highest priority, and 87% reported concern over how their lifestyle choices will affect their health in the future.
While the majority of men are starting to prioritise their health, it’s vital to recognise that neglecting health concerns can elevate the risk of chronic conditions such as Cardiovascular Disorders, Diabetes, and mental health issues among men…
Here are some common health conditions that notably affect men…
Men tend to develop cardiovascular diseases (CVD) at a younger age and carry a higher risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) than women. This is due to factors including higher levels of cholesterol and blood pressure, hormonal Influence, lifestyle choices, genetic predisposition, and delayed symptoms.
Symptoms to watch out for…
Chest Pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, heart palpitations, lightheadedness or dizziness, nausea and, pain in other areas including shoulders, neck, back, jaw, or arms, cold Sweats and high blood pressure

Men are more prone to developing type 2 diabetes, even at a lower body weight compared to women. They are also susceptible to the accumulation of visceral fat (fat stored around the organs in the abdominal area). Unfortunately, it is this type of fat that is a high-risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
Symptoms to watch out for…
Frequent urination (Polyuria), fatigue, heightened thirst (Polydipsia), increased appetite (Polyphagia), frequent infections, blurry vision, numbing sensation or tingling in the feet or hands, slow-healing wounds, and rapid and unexpected weight loss
Often called the "silent killer," high blood pressure can steadily cause damage to the heart and blood vessels over the lifetime, necessitating regular check-ups and lifestyle adjustments.
Symptoms to watch out for…
Headache, trouble breathing, nausea, chest discomfort, lightheadedness along with vomiting, blurred vision or other changes in vision and anxiety.
Studies show that chronic liver disease and cirrhosis is moe often fatal for men than women. In fact the types of liver diseases that are more prevalent in men include Liver cirrhosis, Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), Hepatitis B, Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), Hemochromatosis, Wilson's Disease, and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC).
Symptoms to watch out for…
Yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, belly pain and swelling, swelling in the legs and ankles, itchy skin, dark urine, pale stool, persistent tiredness, nausea or vomiting, loss of appetite, and easy bruising.
A significant risk factor, obesity can lead to various health issues that include heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions. This emphasises the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle (through diet, exercise, sleep etc.) and carrying a recommended weight. Causes of obesity in men can also be due to genetics, pattern of consuming a high-calorie diet, physical inactivity, and a slower metabolism. Besides these even hormonal changes, psychological factors like stress or depression, certain medications, and sleep disorders in men can play a role in accelerating obesity.
Symptoms to watch out for…
Increased fat deposits, difficulty in performing physical activity, joint pain, skin issues, sleep problems, breathlessness, visible skin changes (stretch marks, darkened skin folds, or skin tags) and borderline conditions like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Psychological symptoms may include low self-esteem and symptoms related to low testosterone levels.

Symptoms to watch out for…
Back pain and stiffness, pain in other joints, difficulty breathing, vision changes, fatigue, loss of appetite, skin rashes, abdominal pain, and bowel movements
Chronic stress is a prevalent issue among men, contributing to mental health struggles and physical deterioration. It also leads to conditions of high blood pressure, heart disease, and weakened immunity.

Emotional symptoms involve anxiety, depression, and irritability. Behavioural symptoms may manifest in social withdrawal, substance abuse, and declining work performance. Cognitive symptoms can include memory problems and negative thinking.

Atmantan’s multi-dimensional approach towards better health and well-being enables men to address chronic ailments which create a strong foundation for management and even reversal of certain conditions!
Our Doctor guided programmes enable men to navigate towards their transformative journey as they learn to better understand their condition and how our highly-personalised approach enables us to treat each health journey as unique and individualistic.
Our wellness retreats guide and empower men as they build sustainable habits and address the underlying factors of their chronic health concerns. Here at Atmantan men adopt healing lifestyle choices that help them then achieve long-term vitality and wellbeing! After all, the Atmantan Way addresses not only the body’s physical needs but also promotes mental clarity and emotional balance, transforming men as they become better and even the best versions of themselves.
Key aspects of our Doctor-guided programmes include:
Diagnostics: Our comprehensive diagnostic assessments evaluate lifestyle factors, blood markers, and vascular function, while also considering the unique physiological aspects of women’s health. This includes an emphasis on hormonal profiles, metabolic function, body composition and immune health to identify targeted areas for medical intervention and support.
Diet: Our wellness approach recognises the gut as a central hub of health, especially for managing chronic conditions. The gut is the body’s second brain and we promote its health with a prescribed diet that focuses on restoring gut harmony, optimising nutrient absorption, reducing inflammation and improving immunity.
Movement, Exercise and Physical Activity: Regular physical activity is essential for men’s overall health, as it supports balanced weight parameters, optimises metabolic health, and promotes resilience against chronic conditions. Engaging in a range of exercises – from core conditioning and muscle-strengthening workouts to therapeutic Yoga, aqua-based activities, etc. – enhances muscle tone, boosts circulation and helps stimulate the body’s natural healing process.
Stress Management: At Atmantan, stress management is a holistic journey aimed at harmonising both the mind and body. Our approach includes scientifically-backed and traditional techniques like meditation, mindfulness, breathwork, and ancient movement therapies that are all thoughtfully incorporated into the programme to help reduce stress and restore mental balance.
Adequate Sleep: We help men establish healthy sleep routines and build habits that play a crucial role in promoting recovery, sustaining energy levels, and enhancing cognitive function. Quality sleep that enables muscle repair, tissue growth, and immune function, which are essential for recovering from daily stressors, injuries, and intense physical activity is promoted during the programme here at Atmantan.
Education and Empowerment: Our dedicated team provides valuable insights into the various aspects of men’s health, thus empowering men to make informed lifestyle choices going forward. As we focus on areas such as nutrition, exercise, and stress management, we facilitate men in implementing the necessary changes for a healthier life. We also have the option of an ‘Aftercare Programme’, that creates a system where men can continue to receive ongoing support on their journey to maintaining their wellness journey even after their stay. This ensures that the transformation is sustainable even as one returns to daily life.
Mind-Body Practices: Mind-Body Practices, including pranayama, meditation, and energy therapies, that enhance overall well-being are promoted daily at Atmantan. Men who don’t find the time or inclination to practice these in their daily lives take these on enthusiastically here as they know that these not only help heal the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of health, but also allow for mental clarity and ant-ageing. Incorporating these practices into eventual daily routines is the ultimate goal that promotes holistic wellness.
Herbal Support: Our Doctors specialise in integrative medicine, that allows them to recommend our Atmantan Naturals formulations for your sustainable needs. By implementing dietary changes and utilising our natural and highly potent supplements, one can effectively close the nutritional gaps.
*We suggest consulting with our Doctors, who will provide you with the best guidance on a thorough treatment plan moving forward.
