Sir Steve Redgrave meets Ted’s Health
5x Olympic champion Sir Steve Redgrave knows what it takes to perform at the highest level, both on and off the water.
But when his mental health started sinking? It took him 9 years to seek help. His partnership with Ted’s Health opens up a much-needed conversation around men's health and wellbeing.
We caught up with Steve about:
1.
His experience with low testosterone levels and how this impacted his life
2.
His path to the Olympics – and what came afterwards
3.
Why talking about men’s health matters now more than ever
Why men’s health matters, according to Sir Steve
It's Taboo
But it shouldn’t be. When Sir Steve retired from professional rowing, he recognised that despite spending his career supported by world-class performance teams, he had rarely taken the time to talk about his own personal health concerns. Seeking professional help was his first step, and a partnership with Ted’s Health came next.
Technology is here to help
Unlike years gone by, accessing men’s health services and solutions doesn’t need to be painful. Software and tech, like Ted’s Health, has changed the way so many men like Sir Steve think about their health for the better. Discreet, easy, accessible diagnoses and treatments are the future, and Steve wants to make sure more men are aware.
Taking control is transformative
As a diabetic, followed by confirmed low testosterone later in life, Steve was more aware than most about what was needed to stay in control of his health. Even still, it took time. Looking back, Steve wonders what took him so long to seek help. The renewed energy, improved mental clarity, and enhanced libido were well worth taking control of his health - and he continues to enjoy the benefits today!
“I have a GP that I’ve never seen. You might make an appointment, but you never really have a relationship with them. I found that’s where something like Ted’s Health plays a role. You feel comfortable, in your own home, speaking to a doctor about your health and wellbeing. It’s so much about ease, process, and the confidence you have in that process”
