Mendham Men's Mojo Addressed in Andropause Seminar

The focus of the first seminar on health and wellness at the Garabrant Center in Mendham was women's health. The second round will focus on the men.

Led by Dr. John Kim, and sponsored by Robinson Drug, the June 6 talk will be on Andropause. 

Andropause is sometimes referred to as male menopause as the effects that appear in some aging men have some superficial similarities to menopause effects in women.

"The next seminar is about losing men's mojo," Kim said. "And it will again be at the Garabrant Center with a start time of 7 p.m."

Kim is a compounding pharmacist who has brought with him to Mendham a wave of new initiatives that are going to bring the cutting edge to the more than century-old drug store.

A native of Bayone, Kim received his Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree from Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers University and had worked in Chatham and Westfield before deciding to purchase the 143-year-old Robinson.

The first seminar, on perimenopausal health changes, Kim was joined by Dr. Audrey Prefer, MD, FACOG. Prefer is an Obstetrics and Gynecology specialist with an office in Mendham.

As part of the second seminar, Kim will speak on some of the customized hormone treatment available to and after the talk will open the floor to questions. 

The Men's Health Seminar is scheduled for June 6 at 7 p.m. at the Garabrant Center at 4 Wilson Street in Mendham.

Those interested are asked to RSVP by June 5 by calling Robinson Drug 973-543-2525 or emailing to reserve a space.

The seminar is free and snacks and beverages will be served.
