Dr Lance Frank is a Doctor of Physical Therapy. He operates a private practice, Flex PT ATL, in Atlanta Georgia USA.  His pelvic health physical therapy services support cisgender and transgender people who are managing sexual health and intimacy concerns, pelvic pain, and urinary or bowel dysfunction.

Host Michael Millward decided to find someone who could discuss pelvic health for men because the common belief is that only women need to worry about their pelvic health.

So! In this episode of the Abeceder podcast Fit For My Age Lance explores with Michael why male pelvic health is so often not discussed.

Their own discussion covers what men need to know about maintaining and improving their pelvic health.

All too often these men are too embarrassed to talk about the more intimate aspects of their health and well-being. Dr Lance delivers advice that is perfectly balanced between direct facts and sensitivity to the issues. Any man will feel empowered to discuss pelvic health with their health care provider.

Greg Damian is an elite senior athlete, with an impressive list of achievements.

That was not always the case. As a teenager he was overweight. His life changed when he realised that a few lifestyle changes could positively impact his health and well-being.

In this episode of Fit For My Age, Greg describes his wake-up call that motivated him to make those changes.

Greg explains to host Michael Millward the signs that men and women might notice that could be their wake-up call.

He has developed a four-step approach to achieving a better level of fitness.

Most people, explains Greg over estimate their activity levels and under-estimate their calorie intake. The starting point says Greg is taking ownership for your own health and well-being.

Greg has a matter-of-a-fact approach that demonstrates his understanding of the health and well-being challenges that men and women face as they age, and explains his straightforward supportive approach to improving fitness at any age.

Paul Bailey is a Berkshire based massage therapist with over 15 years of expertise.

He is also the creator of the Harmonic Muscle Release massage technique which he designed to provide intense relief without the discomfort often associated with deep tissue massage. This method blends deep pressure with slow, rhythmic strokes that are carefully timed to match your breathing and the soothing rhythms of background music. The result is a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience.

We should never under estimate the value role that therapeutic massage can play in maintaining physical and mental health. Physical aches and pains can be soothed in a way that is also extremely relaxing.

In this episode of Fit For My Age Paul explains how and why the Harmonic Muscle Release massage technique that he has created works.

What if you left booze behind? You started with good intentions, just thirty days without alcohol, but somehow you never remembered to return to the booze.

That is what Paul McCormack did.

In this episode of The Independent Minds Paul explains to Michael Millward how his life changed after just thirty days without an alcoholic drink.

It was such a positive change that Paul decided to continue living alcohol free.

Paul describes how he was a middle-lane drinker, who considered his relationship with and consumption of alcohol to be normal.

The during lockdown with lots of free time on his hands he examined his relationship with booze and the journey to sobriety started.

Now Paul is a qualified positive psychology coach with an alcohol-free specialisation. He helps other 'middle-lane drinkers' do what he did; better understand their relationship with alcohol and works with them to achieve their goals while they take a break from the booze.
