Read: Man Up!

A hopeful new book filled with stories about men bravely surviving serious medical battles will soon hit bookshelves in Singapore. Men are more likely to service their cars than schedule a health check-up — but at what cost? Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode dives into Man Up!, a new book that brings raw and honest survivor stories of men battling serious health challenges. Author Dr Lee Lui Shiong, Head of Urology at Sengkang General Hospital, joins Michelle to discuss the cultural taboos that hold men back from early detection. We explore differences in health-seeking behaviours between men and women, and what drives higher male mortality. From caregivers’ roles to lifestyle changes, hear how awareness and action can save lives.This is a rare read that challenges outdated ideas of masculinity to put men’s health front and centre.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
