77. How Prostate Cancer Liberated Picasso to Explore Sexual Creativity
(A refreshing look into Prostate Cancer Journey ) For today’s episode, we will be talking with Picasso. Picasso was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at 59 years old. His history involves up and down PSA levels. One day, his new GP, after looking at his records, advised him to go and see a specialist. After an MRI and a biopsy, Picasso had to undergo assisted robotic prostatectomy – amidst the early stages of the pandemic. After surgery, Picasso had great results when it came to his continence (he did not even need to wear pads) and sexual function. So now, two years after the surgery and already 61, Picasso has learned and started to get to know his penis in a different level. According to him, after the surgery, the way he was learning about his sexuality has been liberating. Coming from a religious background, Picasso has this limited core belief around sex... all this changed afterward. And IF you’re curious to know what were the steps Picasso took to have these great results, have a listen! Spoiler alert – he did early Physio, Pilates, Yoga, and mindfulness. Plus penis vitamins after the surgery. 😉 Enjoy listening! If you are interested in doing Yoga or Pilates, send us a message and we’ll try our best to refer you to one. ----- If you feel The Penis Project is valuable to you then, please review and subscribe as this will ensure more people get to hear what we have to say. ---------- 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

76. Meet Glen Poole - CEO of the Australian Men’s Health Forum (AMHF)
In today’s podcast, we speak to Glenn Poole, CEO of the Australian Men’s Health Forum (AMHF), the peak body for men’s health in Australia. With the aim of improving male health across the lifespan, AMHF explores the how and why of male attitudes to health and how this may impact their quality & quantity of life. Linking up with a diverse network of individuals and organisations that work together, AMHF provides a central point for improved outcomes and the sharing of knowledge and programs across Australia. Glenn joins Melissa & Dr Jo as they tackle some of the tricky topics that can affect boys and men. This includes addressing the physical, social, spiritual, sexual, and relationship needs of males across the lifespan - from school to retirement and beyond. It is a little-known fact that men have a 4-5 year reduced lifespan vs females and are at higher risk for many diseases and poorer health in areas such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and suicide. Research shows that the best way to improve men’s health is to tackle the underlying social factors like education, fatherhood, work-life, social connection and access to male-friendly services and Glenn discusses how he puts this into practice. For more information about AMHF, you can gain an info kit from www.amhf.org.au. A yearly National Men’s Health awards event is the highlight of the AMHF calendar, so look out for it every June in Men’s Health Week. A big thanks to Glenn and his team for all their incredible support of men’s health. ---- ROADSHOW DETAILS, please click here >> ----- If you feel The Penis Project is valuable to you then, please review and subscribe as this will ensure more people get to hear what we have to say. ---------- 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

74. Meet Peri-pain Pete. Let’s talk about pain in the perineum.
Today, we speak with Peri-pain Pete. Pete is a 72-year old retired geologist who experienced pain in his perineum following prostate removal. Being a retiree who loves to cycle and is quite active sports wise, the peri-pain did affect his life. When did the pain start? According to Pete, it was when his catheter came out that he noticed the pain. The pain is exacerbated by standing but is relieved when sitting or lying down. After much research, Pete didn't find any explanation as to the cause. So... this episode will help us navigate through 'Peri-pain' and see what Pete did to resolve the issue. Then, Dr Jo will discuss a few possible causes of the pain plus a simple anatomy lesson. Melissa will also add information about medications and assessments. And lastly, this might be the first episode where Dr Jo teaches how to ‘subtlety’ do nuts-to-guts. It's an interesting episode again this week! We hope the golden nut-gets from today's episode will help those experiencing the same pain as Pete had.
