Instinct Magazine: Annual Health, Fitness & Wellness Issue

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.

Now available on stands and online.
