Excelso Insurance Agency

June is Men’s Health Month, and our team at Excelso Insurance Agency is encouraging men and their families to take advantage of preventive screenings included in most health plans. Early detection can make a life-changing difference, and knowing what to screen for is a great first step.

Here are a few important screenings and when they generally begin:

• Cholesterol checks: Start at age 17 and repeat every 4–6 years.
• Diabetes screening: Recommended beginning at age 35, or earlier with risk factors.
• Prostate cancer screening: Typically begins around age 50, earlier for higher-risk individuals.
• Colorectal cancer screening: Most men should begin colonoscopies at age 45, with frequency based on risk.
• Mental health screening: Included in annual wellness visits at any age.

Everyone’s health journey is unique, so it’s important to discuss the right screenings for your age, history, and lifestyle with your doctor.

If you're running a business from home or have no employees, you might be wondering if you need to get small business coverage. Here’s what you should know:

✅Most homeowner’s policies don’t fully cover business-related equipment or liability.
✅ A general liability policy is often a smart (and affordable) place to start for small business owners running their business out of their home.
✅ If you use a personal vehicle for deliveries, client meetings, or equipment transport, you may need commercial auto coverage, too.

Have questions about your current coverage or want help closing gaps? Just give us a call. We’re happy to help.

As we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month this May, our team at Excelso Insurance Agency is helping clarify an important distinction: mental health and mental health conditions are not the same.

Understanding the difference empowers us to better support ourselves and others.

Mental health refers to everyone’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act each day.

Mental health conditions are diagnosable disorders such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD. More than half of people will receive a diagnosis at some point in their lives.

Good mental health and a mental health condition can coexist, especially with the right treatment, support, and self-care.

Poor mental health doesn’t always mean a diagnosable illness. Stress, grief, burnout, and life transitions can all impact how we feel.

Simple ways to care for mental health include journaling, breathing exercises, movement, and connecting with people you trust.

Professional support is always an option. Therapy can benefit anyone, no diagnosis required.

If you or someone you know needs support, reaching out to a health care professional can make a difference. You’re not alone. 💚

As your family grows and new chapters unfold, having strong financial roots matters more than ever. Life insurance is one of the most reliable ways to protect your future, offering stability and peace of mind through marriage, children, and every milestone ahead.

Our team at Excelso Insurance Agency can guide you through your first policy or help you strengthen your current coverage. If you have questions or want a personalized quote, we’re here to support you.
