#164 Dr Mike Banna - Seeking Healthcare As An Enhanced Athlete

Enhanced bodybuilders seeking healthcare can run into doctors who refuse care unless they stop using PEDs, or who shame, talk down to, or assume all symptoms are stemming from PED use - so don't engage with further investigation. This leads to an obvious lack of health support, issues going undiagnosed which can snowball into catastrophes, and a growing divide of mistrust and misunderstanding between athletes and doctors. It can cost lives! In this episode, Dr. Mike Banna, a GP from England and a fitness enthusiast himself, talks to us about how to navigate the healthcare space as an enhanced bodybuilder.
