The Modern Male Patient - Pecs, Prostates and Performance with Dr Cameron Ewert

Are your male patients hesitant to discuss sensitive health issues? In this episode from My Health Academy, Dr. Cameron Ewert shares practical strategies for creating a safe space to tackle men's health taboos.

Navigate the complexities of prostate cancer screening with clear, shared decision-making frameworks and PSA thresholds.

Dr. Ewert also unpacks the rising trend of "bro science," detailing the use of anabolic steroids and unregulated gym peptides like the "Wolverine stack" and Melanotan II. Learn how to implement a practical harm-minimization approach in your clinic and monitor dangerous lab markers like elevated hemoglobin, severe cholesterol spikes, and acute eGFR impairment.
