Prostate Cancer: The Conversation Men Keep Avoiding (EP 128)

Prostate cancer is one of those subjects many men would rather avoid, until it lands in their own doctor’s office. Michael Bovarnick knows that feeling firsthand. He was diagnosed 23 years ago, had his prostate removed, lived with the anxiety of ongoing testing, and then learned the cancer had returned two decades later. Michael’s story is not just about cancer. It is about resilience, being proactive, and getting past the silence that can hurt men and their relationships. He shares why PSA testing, education, asking questions, and involving your spouse or support system can make a real difference when fear wants to take over. === Guest Michael Bovarnick, The Prostate Education Project, Founder Website: https://theprostateeducationproject.org/ === Resources / Books / Podcasts / Apps American Cancer Society Prostate Cancer Information: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer.html American Cancer Society Prostate Cancer Screening Recommendations: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/acs-recommendations.html Johns Hopkins Medicine: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/ Johns Hopkins Medicine Prostate Cancer Information: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/prostate-cancer === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements Item Item Title: Healthy Eating Item URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4P Author Username: CrazyTunes Licensee: Marvin Bee Registered Project Name: Unhealthy Podcast License Date: January 3rd, 2026 Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W === About the Unhealthy Podcast Hosted by Marvin Bee (Uncle Marv), the Unhealthy Podcast dives into real conversations about health, wellness, and everyday habits that impact how we live, work, and age.
