We all know the importance (and often feel the pressure) of staying
in shape, but with so much competing information out there on diets,
exercise and fitness fads it’s enough to drive any gay man mad! So this
August, Instinct is helping you keep your overall wellness in
check. But before you work on the outside, you’ve got to feel good on
the inside.
Dr. Paul Talbot knows the importance of that all too well. In this
month’s cover story, the 48-year-old opens up about finding the courage
to come out in his 40s after decades of living the seemingly perfect
life: wife, two kids, successful practice. In the compelling cover
story, “Beginning Again,” Paul shares just how damaging suppressing
one’s true self can be, and despite all the fear in the world, how
unbelievably gratifying it can be to finally come out of the closet.
Once you’ve got your mind and soul taken care of, Instinct
is helping keep the rest in shape, thanks in part to fitness expert
Craig Ramsay. The easy-on-the-eyes trainer is sharing tips from his new
book, helping readers overcome body issues and much more in this
month’s “Spark” section. Plus, in the wake of the FDA’s milestone
ruling to classify Truvada as an HIV-prevention drug, we take an
in-depth look at the fears some have that this could forever change the
way gay men look at safe sex.
