The Penis Project Podcast: Breaking Taboos in Men’s Sexual Health

  "I hoped I gave you guys the gift of life. Cause unfortunately it’s not gonna work my way. So, it’s up to you guys to get checked regularly and stay in tune".    This was Rod’s message from his dad which he religiously heeded after his father’s passing.   It’s also a lesson he keeps sharing with every guy he meets. Go get checked.   He’s been doing this for more than 15 years. And now, he’s here to share it to a worldwide audience. ;)   Meet Rod.   Rod was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer last January 2022, but he wasn’t surprised since he knew it runs in the family.   What’s unusual for Rod though is that he stayed longer in the hospital compared to other patients.   His continence was good, making him quite confident until, one day when he had too much alcohol and had the realisation that “Jacks” is better than beer if you want to keep the nappies away.   Rod will take you through his journey - from his dad’s story to his own. He’ll also share why he’s using a pump for muscle exercise and that needles are a good thing. Also, he’ll talk about the changes in orgasm and how it is now.   Rod also shares what he wishes he knew before starting his journey.   Lastly, he's curious if his kids will listen to this podcast. We know you’ll do, though!   Enjoy listening! Do you think Rod’s kids will listen to this? Share it in the comments. ;)   If you wish to talk to Rod, please let us know so we can share his contact details with you.  ---------- Websites: https://melissahadleybarrett.com   Men’s health only https://rshealth.com.au/  All genders http://www.menshealthphysiotherapy.com.au/ http://prost.com.au/   Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/p/Melissa-Hadley-Barrett-100085237672685/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085146627814   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissahadleybarrett/ https://www.instagram.com/restorativehealth.clinic/ TikTok: @melissahadleybarrett YouTube: Melissa Hadley Barrett Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-hadley-barrett/   Music David Mercy https://open.spotify.com/artist/1HbvnltKu4XbWTmk0kpVB9?si=D1xP5dDVQK-zzNU3rViRWg   Producer Thomas Evans: The SOTA Process https://www.instagram.com/thesotaprocess/ https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jf2IYXRlgfsiqNARsY8fi

If you’re looking to lose weight and have been finding it difficult, this might just be the podcast for you. In just two months, our guest for today lost 9 kgs. ;)     Meet Paul. We also have our guest host, Kendall.   Paul was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer last April 2022.   After bum checks, MRI, and a biopsy - his results were in and you guessed it he had prostate cancer.  Paul is not aware of any family history relating to prostate cancer so this was a shock to him. But it also became a wake-up call and a step towards his weight loss journey and better health in general.   Together with Kendall, he was able to lose 9 kilograms 2 months and lost 6 centimeters (about 2.36 in) around his waist.  Much like many others, Paul also learned how bad alcohol is when it comes to continence. So instead of having beer every day, he drinks it only on ‘cheat days’. He has also realised the affect alcohol consumption has on his weight loss.   He has been sleeping better, doing tons of walks, and eating healthy to aid weight loss.   Prior to diagnosis, Paul was taking testosterone injections which had to be discontinued before the surgery. After a good prognosis and getting to his doctor, he started using a daily gel - which was easier than the testosterone injections.   Paul acknowledges that he has been well looked after by his medical team and that this podcast was like a ‘school he was going to’ with Melissa and Dr Jo as his classmates.   Do you also feel the same as Paul, that this podcast is like a school you go to? Of course, with Dr Jo and Melissa being your chatty & giggly schoolmates. 😉    Enjoy listening!  ---------- Websites: https://melissahadleybarrett.com   Men’s health only https://rshealth.com.au/  All genders http://www.menshealthphysiotherapy.com.au/ http://prost.com.au/   Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/p/Melissa-Hadley-Barrett-100085237672685/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085146627814   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissahadleybarrett/ https://www.instagram.com/restorativehealth.clinic/ TikTok: @melissahadleybarrett YouTube: Melissa Hadley Barrett Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-hadley-barrett/   Music David Mercy https://open.spotify.com/artist/1HbvnltKu4XbWTmk0kpVB9?si=D1xP5dDVQK-zzNU3rViRWg   Producer Thomas Evans: The SOTA Process https://www.instagram.com/thesotaprocess/ https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jf2IYXRlgfsiqNARsY8fi

  For today’s episode, we have Joe. Joe was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer before his daughter’s wedding. A difficult decision had to be made whether to have his surgery before or after the event. But due to possible Covid restrictions, Joe ultimately chose to have his operation prior. And that he did. Successfully. Despite the operation, he was able to walk his daughter to the altar. From Joe’s perspective, he knows that his Prostate Cancer journey is different from all the others, which is the case for everyone. And his message is this; Don’t be afraid. Take it on. Everything will be fine in the end.
