The article discusses the increasing trend of men seeking self-care and wellness treatments at luxury spas and resorts. Traditionally, these establishments have catered more to women, but there has been a significant rise in male clientele in recent years. Men are now taking charge of their own wellness and seeking treatment for various issues such as cardiovascular problems, digestive issues, sleep disorders, and emotional well-being. This shift is attributed to the growing social acceptance of men prioritizing self-care and prevention over cure. The article highlights the experiences of a middle-aged man who undergoes a week-long wellness program at Ananda in the Himalayas, which includes consultations, massages, acupuncture, yoga, and meditation. The author experiences a transformative journey and achieves a sense of balance and healing. The article also mentions other luxury wellness resorts that have seen an increase in male guests and offer specific programming to address mental health and major life events.
