EP 24: Walking Saved My Life: A Prostate Cancer Survivor’s Journey and the Power of Early Detection

Listen Later

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I share the full story of how walking—and early PSA testing—helped save my life.

You'll hear how my PSA numbers slowly rose over the years, how I rationalized them away, and how one timely MRI led to a cancer diagnosis that changed everything. I open up about hormone therapy (ADT), my upcoming radiation treatment, and the emotional, physical, and spiritual impact of facing prostate cancer head-on.

Tune in, and please share this with someone who needs to hear it.
