In this episode I sat down with Ben Smith of Deepwater Performance to chat about life, jiu jitsu and his experience with Testicular Cancer. Turns out, April is actually Testicular cancer awareness month so it's kind of fitting for us to talk about this issue. That said, I hope you can enjoy this episode, and laugh along with us as Ben recounts his story and shares some valuable information everyone should be aware of.  For such a heavy topic I'm glad that Ben can talk about it so openly and share his experience with the whole process. We go through the whole thing from synthetic nuts to hormone replacement therapy, chemotherapy as well as Ben's work, from the NRL to his coaching business and how watching a schoolyard fight in the toilets helped him to find Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Allan Zarach shares his journey of surviving testicular cancer twice.Diagnosed for the first time in his late teens, Allan ignored early warning signs before ultimately undergoing surgery and chemotherapy. After years of surveillance, he thought his cancer battle was behind him until 22 years later, when testicular cancer struck again. This time, however, a routine scan revealed something even more alarming: he also had bilateral kidney cancer.Allan opens up about the toll of facing multiple cancer diagnoses, the resilience it demanded, and the unwavering support of his family - especially his two young kids. He also discusses the importance of advocating for yourself, staying proactive with health screenings, and finding humor even in the darkest moments.Want to be a guest?

Dr. Irene Su and Dr. Alison Loren present the latest evidence-based recommendations on fertility preservation for people with cancer. They discuss established, emerging, and investigational methods of fertility preservation for adults and children, and the role of clinicians including discussing the risk of infertility with all patients. Dr. Su and Dr. Loren also touch on other important aspects of fertility preservation, including the logistics of referral to reproductive specialists, navigating health insurance, and costs. They also discuss ongoing research and future areas to explore, including risk stratification, implementing screening, referral, and navigation processes in lower resource settings, fertility measurements, and health care policy impacts. Read the full guideline update, “Fertility Preservation in People with Cancer: ASCO Guideline Update” at www.asco.org/survivorship-guidelines." TRANSCRIPT This guideline, clinical tools, and resources are available at http://www.asco.org/survivorship-guidelines. Read the full text of the guideline and review authors' disclosures of potential conflicts of interest in the Journal of Clinical Oncology,  https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO-24-02782   In this guideline, the terms "male" and "female" were defined based on biological sex, specifically focusing on reproductive anatomy at birth. "Male" refers to individuals born with testes, while "female" refers to those born with ovaries. The guideline, and this podcast episode, we will refer to individuals as "males" or "females" based on this definition. Brittany Harvey Hello and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines podcast, one of ASCO's podcasts delivering timely information to keep you up to date on the latest changes, challenges, and advances in oncology. You can find all the shows, including this one at asco.org/podcasts. My name is Brittany Harvey and today I'm interviewing Dr. Irene Su from the University of California, San Diego, and Dr. Alison Loren from the University of Pennsylvania, co-chairs on “Fertility Preservation in People With Cancer: ASCO Guideline Update.” Thank you for being here today, Dr. Su and Dr. Loren. Dr. Irene Su: Thanks for having us. Dr. Alison Loren: Thanks for having us. Brittany Harvey: Then before we discuss this guideline, I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines and ensuring that the ASCO Conflict of Interest Policy is followed for each guideline. The disclosures of potential conflicts of interest for the guideline panel, including Dr. Su and Dr. Loren, who have joined us here today, are available online with the publication of the guideline in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, which is linked in the show notes. So then, to jump into the content here, Dr. Loren, this is an update of a previous ASCO guideline. So what prompted this update to the 2018 guideline on fertility preservation? And what is the scope of this particular update? Dr. Alison Loren: Yeah, thanks, Brittany. So, yeah, a couple of things, actually. I would say the biggest motivation was the recognition that the field was really moving forward in several different directions. And we felt that the previous guidelines really hadn't adequately covered the need for ongoing reproductive health care in survivorship, including the fact that fertility preservation methods can be engaged in even after treatment is finished. And then also recognizing that there is increasing data supporting various novel forms of fertility preservation in both male and female patients. And we wanted to be able to educate the community about the wide array of options that are available to people with cancer, because it really has changed quite a bit even in the last six years. And then lastly, as I'm sure this audience, and you definitely know, ASCO tries to update the guidelines periodically to make sure that they're current. So it sort of is due anyhow, but I would say motivated largely by those changes in the field. Brittany Harvey: Great. I appreciate that background information. So then I'd like to dive a little bit more into those updates that you discussed. So, Dr. Su, I'd like to review the key recommendations across the main topics of this guideline. So starting with what are the recommendations regarding discussing the risk of infertility with patients undergoing cancer treatment? Dr. Irene Su: Thanks, Brittany. So for every child, adolescent, and adult of reproductive age who's been diagnosed with cancer, the recommendation remains that healthcare clinicians should discuss this possibility of infertility as early as possible before treatment starts, because that allows us, as reproductive endocrinologists and fertility specialists, to preserve the full range of options for fertility preservation for these young people. Where it's possible, I think risk stratification should be a part of the clinical infertility risk counseling and then the decision making. And then for patients and families who have an expressed interest in fertility preservation, and for those who are uncertain, the recommendation is to refer these individuals to reproductive specialists. And it turns out this is because fertility preservation treatments are medically effective for improving post-treatment fertility and counseling can ultimately reduce stress and improve quality of life, even for those who don't undergo fertility preservation. And as Dr. Loren said, a change in the guideline is specifically about continuing these discussions post-treatment yearly or when cancer treatments change because that changes their infertility risk or when pregnancy is being considered. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. Discussing that risk of infertility at the beginning, before any treatment is initiated, and when treatment changes, is key. So then talking about the options for patients, Dr. Loren, what are the recommended fertility preservation options for males? Dr. Alison Loren: There has been a little bit of an evolution in options for male patients. The standard of care option which is always recommended is cryopreservation of sperm, or otherwise known as sperm banking. And this is something that should be offered ideally prior to initiating cancer directed therapy. The guideline does reflect the fact that we're starting to understand in a little bit more depth the impact of cancer-directed treatments on the health and quantity of sperm. And so trying to understand when, if ever, it's appropriate to collect sperm after initiation of treatment, but before completion of treatment remains an area of active research. But the current understanding of the data and the evidence is that sperm banking should be offered prior to initiating cancer-directed therapy. And all healthcare clinicians should feel empowered to discuss this option with all pubertal and post-pubertal male patients prior to receiving their treatment. We do offer a little bit more information about the ideal circumstances around sperm banking, including a minimum of three ejaculates of sufficient quality, if possible, but that any collections are better than no collections. We also talk about the fact that there is a relatively new procedure known as testicular sperm extraction, which can be offered to pubertal and post-pubertal males who can't produce a semen sample before cancer treatment begins. There remains no evidence for hormonal protection of testicular function - that has been a long-standing statement of fact and that remains the case. And then we also begin to address some of the potential risk of genetic damage in sperm that are collected soon after initiation of cancer-directed therapy. We are starting to understand that there is a degradation in the number and DNA integrity of sperm that can occur even after a single treatment. And so, really highlighting the fact that collecting samples, again, to Dr. Su's point, as early as possible and as many as possible to try to optimize biological parenthood after treatment. Brittany Harvey: Yes. Thank you for reviewing those options and what is both recommended and not recommended in this scenario. So then, following those recommendations, Dr. Su, what are the recommended fertility preservation options for female patients? Dr. Irene Su: There are a number of established and effective methods for fertility preservation for people with ovaries, and this includes freezing embryos, freezing oocytes, freezing ovarian tissue. For some patients, it may be appropriate to do ovarian transposition, which is to surgically move ovaries out of the field of radiation in a conservative gynecologic surgery, for example, preserving ovaries or preserving the uterus in people with gynecologic cancers. We do recommend that the choice between embryo and oocyte cryopreservation should be guided by patient preference and clinical considerations, their individual circumstances, including future flexibility, the success rates of embryo versus egg freezing that we detail more in the guideline, and legal considerations. And what is new in this guideline, as Dr. Loren alluded to earlier, is consideration of post-treatment fertility preservation for oocyte and embryo freezing. And this is going to be because, for some females, there's going to be a shortened but residual window of ovarian function that may not match when they are in their life ready to complete their families. And so for those individuals, there may be an indication to consider post-treatment fertility preservation. We clarify that gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists, GNRH agonists, while they shouldn't be used in the place of established fertility preservation methods, e.g., oocyte and embryo freezing, they can definitely be offered as an adjunct to females with breast cancer. Beyond breast cancer, we don't really understand the benefits and risks of GNRH agonists and feel that clinical trials in this area are highly encouraged. And also, that for patients who have oncologic emergencies that require urgent chemotherapy, these agonists can be offered because they can provide additional benefits like menstrual suppression. What's emerging is in vitro maturation of oocytes. It's feasible in specialized labs. It may take a little bit shorter time to retrieve these oocytes. There are cases of live births following IVM, in vitro maturation, that have been reported. But these processes remain inefficient compared to standard controlled ovarian stimulation. And therefore, it's really being treated as an emerging method. Finally, uterine transposition. It's experimental, but it's a novel technique for us. It's really moving the uterus out of the field of radiation surgically. We recommend that this is done under research protocols. So taken together, there are improvements in fertility preservation technology, and consideration of which of any of these methods really depends on tailoring to what is that patient's risk, what is the time that they have, what is feasible for them, and what is the effectiveness comparatively among these methods for them. Brittany Harvey: I appreciate you reviewing those recommendations and considerations of patient preferences, the clarification on GNRH agonists, and then those emerging and experimental methods as well. So then the next category of recommendations, Dr. Loren, what are the recommended fertility preservation options for children? Dr. Alison Loren: Thanks, Brittany. This remains a very challenging area. Certainly for older children and adolescents who have begun to initiate puberty changes, we support proceeding with previously outlined standard methods of either sperm or oocyte collection and cryopreservation. For younger children who are felt to be at substantial risk for harm to fertility, the really only options available to them are gonadal tissue cryopreservation, so ovarian tissue or testicular tissue cryopreservation. As Dr. Su mentioned, the ovarian tissue cryopreservation methods are quite effective and well established. There's less data in children, but we know that in adults and older adolescents that this is an effective method. Testicular cryopreservation remains experimental, and we suggest that if it is performed, that strong consideration should be given to doing this as an investigational research protocol. However, because these are the only options available to children, we understand there may be reasons why there might need to be some flexibility around this in the proper setting of informed consent and ascent when appropriate for children. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. And so we've discussed a lot of recommendations on fertility preservation options. So, Dr. Loren, what is recommended regarding the role of clinicians in advising people about these fertility preservation options? Dr. Alison Loren: Yeah, this is a really important question, Brittany, and I think that we really hope to empower the entire oncology clinical team to bring these issues to the forefront for patients. We know from qualitative studies that oncology providers sometimes feel uncomfortable bringing these issues up because they feel inexpert in dealing with them or because it's so overwhelming. Obviously, these are usually younger patients who are not expecting a cancer diagnosis, and there can be quite a lot of distress, understandably, around the diagnosis itself and the treatment plan, and it can be sometimes overwhelming to also bring up fertility as a potential risk of therapy. We are seeing that as patients are becoming more familiar and comfortable kind of speaking up, I think, social media and lots of sort of online communities have raised this issue, that we're seeing that young people with cancer do spontaneously bring this up in their visits, which we really appreciate and encourage. But I think sometimes clinicians feel it's sometimes described as a dual crisis of both the cancer diagnosis and a risk to future fertility and it can be a really challenging conversation to initiate. I feel, and we hope that the guidelines convey, that the whole point is just to bring it up. We do not expect an oncology clinician of any kind, including social workers, nurses, to be able to outline all of the very complex options that are articulated in this guideline. And in fact, the reason that the co-chairs include myself, a hematologist oncologist, and Dr. Su, who's a reproductive specialist, is because we understand that the complex reproductive options for our patients with cancer require expert conversations. So we do not expect the oncology team to go into all the guideline options with their patients. We really just want to empower everyone on the team to bring up the issue so that we can then get them the care that they need from our colleagues in reproductive endocrinology so that they can be fully apprised of all of their options with enough time before initiation of treatment to be able to embark on whichever therapies they feel are most suited to their family planning wishes. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. And then jumping off of that, as a reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Su, what do you think clinicians should know as they implement these updated recommendations? Dr. Irene Su: I wholly echo what Dr. Loren has said about- this is a team effort and it's been really fun to work as a team of various specialties on this guideline, so we hope that the guideline really reflects all of the partnerships that have occurred. I think that what clinicians should know is it may be well worth spending some time in identifying a pathway for our patients. So that starts off with the oncology team. How are we going to screen? How are we going to screen with fidelity? And then from the time of screening, really anybody who has an interest or potentially is unsure about their future fertility needs, who are the reproductive specialists, male and female, that you are in the community with to refer to? What is that referral process going to be like? Is it emails? Is it a phone? Is it a best practice advisory in your electronic health record system? From our standpoint as fertility specialists, we need to spend some time implementing in this system a way to receive these referrals urgently and also be able to support insurance navigation. Because actually, what is really exciting in this field is for the purpose of equitable access, there is increasing insurance coverage, whether it is because employers feel that this is the right thing to do to offer, or 17 states and the District of Columbia also have state mandates requiring fertility preservation coverage by many insurances, as well as, for example, federal employees and active military members. So more than ever, there is a decreased cost barrier for patients and still early days, so navigating health insurance is a little bit challenging. And that is the role, in part, of navigators and fertility clinic teams to help support these patients to do that. Dr. Alison Loren: Forming these relationships and reinforcing them so early and often is really key. Because although these patients come up with some infrequency, when they occur, they're really emergencies and we want to make sure that there's a well-established path for these patients to get from their oncology clinicians to the reproductive specialists. And as Dr. Su said, whatever works best for your system - there's a lot of different ways that people have tackled these challenging referrals - but it is really important to have an expedited path and for the receiving reproductive specialist office to understand that these are urgent patients that need to be expedited and that the oncology clinician's responsibility is to make sure that that's communicated appropriately. Brittany Harvey: Definitely. Thinking in advance about those logistics of referral and navigating health insurance and cost is key to making sure that patients receive the care that they want and that they'd like to discuss with clinicians. So then, Dr. Loren, you touched on this a little bit earlier in talking about the dual crisis, but how does this guideline impact people diagnosed with cancer? Dr. Alison Loren: Well, what we're hoping is that this is sort of a refresher. I think that many or hopefully most or all oncology clinicians are aware that this is a potential concern. And so part of our hope is that, as this guideline rolls out, it'll sort of bring to the top of people's memories and action items that this is an important part of oncology care is the reproductive health care of our patients. And it's a critical component of survivorship care as well. We want to remind people that the field continues to advance and progress. In oncology, we're very aware of oncologic progress, but we may not be so aware of reproductive healthcare progress. And so letting people know, “Hey, there's all these new cool things we can do for people that open up options, even in situations where we might have thought there were no options before.” It's a reminder to refer, because we're not going to be able to keep up with all the advances in the field. But Dr. Su and her colleagues will be able to know what might be an option for patients. I want to highlight that communication piece again because our reproductive colleagues need to know what treatments are going to be given, what the urgency is, what the risks are. And so part of our responsibility as part of the team is to make sure that it's clear to both our patients and our reproductive specialist colleagues what the risks are. And Dr. Su mentioned this earlier, but one really important open question is risk stratification. We know that not all cancer treatments are created equal. There are some treatments, such as high dose alkylating agents, such as cyclophosphamide or busulfan, or high doses of radiation directly to the gonadal tissue, that are extremely high risk for causing permanent gonadal harm very immediately after exposure. And there are other therapies, particularly emerging or novel therapies, that we really just have no idea what the reproductive impact will be. And in particular, as patients are living longer, which is wonderful for our patients, how do we integrate reproductive care and family building into the management of perhaps a younger person who's on some chronic maintenance therapies, some of which we know can harm either the developing fetus or reproductive health, and some of which we really don't know at all. And so there's a very large open question around emerging therapies and how to counsel our patients. And so we hope that this guideline will also raise to the forefront the importance of addressing these questions moving forward and helping our patients to understand that we don't necessarily have all the answers either, which we hope will enrich the discussion and really have it be a good example of shared decision making between the clinical teams and the patient, so that ultimately the patients are able to make decisions that make the most sense for them and reduce the potential for decision regret in the future. Dr. Su, I know you have spent a lot of time thinking about this. Dr. Irene Su: Yeah. I really echo this notion that not all cancer treatments are going to be toxic to future reproductive function. And as clinicians, I and colleagues know that patients want to know as much when there is no effect on their fertility, because that feels reassuring in that that prevents them from having to go through the many hoops that sometimes it can be to undergo fertility preservation, as it is to know high risk, as it is to know we don't know. This is key and central, and we need more data. So, for example, we often chat about, wouldn't it be great if from the time of preclinical drug development all the way to clinical trials, that reproductive health in terms of ovarian function, testicular function, fertility potential, is measured regularly so that we are not having to look back 30, 40, 50 years later to understand what happened. And so this is one of our key research questions that we hope the field takes note of going forward. Dr. Alison Loren: This is an important point. We focus greatly, as we should, on potential harms to fertility, making sure that there's access to all the reproductive options for young people with cancer. But to Dr. Su's point, not all therapies are created equal, and there are some therapies that are somewhat lower risk or even much lower risk, including, I'm a blood cancer specialist and so certainly in the patients that I take care of, the treatments related to AML, ALL, and some lymphomas are actually fairly low risk, which is why the post-treatment fertility preservation options are so important. And particularly for patients who potentially present acutely ill with acute leukemia do not have the time or the ability to engage in fertility preservation because of their medical circumstances, it's important to have that conversation. I want to emphasize to oncology clinicians that even if you know medically that this patient is unable to undergo fertility preservation techniques at the time of diagnosis of their cancer, that it's still appropriate to talk about it and to say, “We're going to keep talking about this, this is something that we're going to raise again once you're through this initial therapy. I'm not forgetting about this. It may not be something we can engage in now, but it's a future conversation that's important in your ongoing care.” And then to think about pursuing options when possible, particularly for patients who may require a bone marrow transplant in their future, either due to higher risk disease at presentation or in the event of a relapse, we know that generally bone marrow transplants, because of the high intensity conditioning that they require for most patients who are young, that permanent gonadal insufficiency will be a fixture. And so there can be a window of time in between initial therapy and transplant where a referral might be appropriate. So my public service announcement is that it's never the wrong time to refer to a reproductive specialist. And sometimes people make assumptions about chemotherapy that, “Oh, they've already been treated, so there's nothing we can do,” and I want to make sure that people know that that's not true and that it's always appropriate to explore options. Dr. Irene Su: I think we talk a lot about how important screening and referral is and I can imagine that it's hard to actually know how to implement that. One of our other research questions to look out for is that we see a lot of tertiary care centers that have put together big teams, big resources, and that's not always feasible to scale out to all kinds of settings. And so what's emerging is: What are the key processes that have to happen and how can we adapt this screening, referral, financial navigation process from larger centers to smaller centers to less resource settings. So I guess my public service announcement is there's research in this area, there's focus in this area, so keep an eye out because there will be hopefully better tools to be able to fit in different types of settings. And more research is actually needed to be able to trial these different screening, referral, navigation processes in lower resource settings as well. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. It's important to think about the research questions on how to improve both the delivery of fertility preservation options and the discussion of it, and it's important to recognize, as you mentioned, the different fertility risks of different cancer directed treatment options and the importance to have the conversations around this. So then just to expand on this notion a little bit, Dr. Su, we've touched on the research needed here in terms of discussing fertility options with patients and referring and then also in some of the experimental and emerging treatment options. So, what are the other outstanding research questions regarding fertility preservation for people with cancer? Dr. Irene Su: A couple others I'd like to add and then have Dr. Loren chime in in case I missed anything in all of our discussions, there's so many wants. So head to head comparisons of which method is best for which patient and what the long term outcomes are: How many kiddos? Do we complete family building? That is still missing. Being able to invest in novel methods from - there's fertoprotective agents that are being tested, potentially spermatogonial stem cell transplant. These are closer to clinical trials to really early research on ovarian, testicular, uterine biology. This is needed in order to inform downstream interventions. One of the questions that is unanswered is: After treatment starts, when is it safe to retrieve oocytes? And so this is a question because, for example, for our leukemia patients who are in the middle of treatment, when is it safe to retrieve eggs? And we don't know. And then post-treatment, for people who have a reduced window, when do you optimally have the most number of eggs or embryos that you can cryopreserve? That's unknown. But I think the question around once treatment has started, is recent exposure of anti-cancer treatments somehow mutagenic or somehow toxic to the oocytes with regard to long term offspring health? That is unanswered. I'm going to scope out a little bit and maybe policy nerd this a little bit. It's been very exciting to see advocacy, advocacy from our patients, from our clinicians on trying to improve health care policy. Like how can we use mandates to improve this delivery? But we actually don't know because actually the mandates from states that require health insurance coverage for fertility preservation, they vary. And so actually what are the key ingredients and policies that will ultimately get the most patients to the care they need? That is in question and would be really interesting. And so what is a part of this guideline which is not often seen in clinical guidelines, is a call for what we think are best practices for health insurance plans to help patients be able to access. And so this means that we recommend being specific and comprehensive in the coverage of these established fertility preservation services that have been recommended. And this means, for example, an egg freezing covering the whole process from consultation to office visits, to ultrasounds and laboratories, to medicines, to the retrieval, and then to long term storage. Because particularly for the youngest of our patients, these gametes could be frozen for a number of years and may not always be so affordable without health insurance coverage. We think that fertility preservation benefits really should be at parity, that you should not be having more cost sharing on the patient compared to other medical services that are covered. This is an inequity and where possible we should eliminate prior authorization because that timing is so short between diagnosis and needing to start anti-cancer treatment. And so prior authorization having to go through multiple layers of health insurance is really a key barrier because we all know that health insurance literacy is limited for all of us. And so whatever we can do to support our patient for the intent of these benefits would be recommended. Dr. Alison Loren: That was so well said, Dr. Su. I'll take the oncology perspective and say that from our side, really being able to understand the risks of infertility and understanding better measurements of fertility capacity, understanding where our patients are - every patient is different. These conversations are very different for a 37-year-old than they are for a 17-year-old. And so what we haven't really talked about is the fact that certainly at least female patients, as they age, their reproductive potential declines naturally. And so their infertility trajectory may be accelerated, they may have a shorter timeline or have less reserve than younger patients. And so being able to tailor our risk discussions not just based on the specific treatments, but on the reproductive age of the patient sitting in front of us and really being able to tailor those to very personalized risks would be really helpful. Because, as Dr. Su mentioned, and I think, as many people know, undergoing fertility preservation techniques can be really arduous. Even if they're covered and paid for, and all of those logistics are easy, which they seldom are, the physical drain of having to do injections, go for labs, all of the parts of those therapies can be really difficult for patients. And so being able to really understand who needs to have these interventions and who could pass, and understanding what the risks are, as I mentioned earlier, for these novel and emerging therapies would be really helpful. Another really important aspect of future research questions is we would like to encourage all clinicians, both reproductive specialists and oncology clinicians, and also our young people with cancer, to participate in clinical studies pertaining to fertility measurements and preservation. We also exhort our industry colleagues to consider including important reproductive endpoints, including biomarkers of ovarian and testicular reserve, if possible, in clinical trials. It will enhance our ability to provide counseling and support for these therapies in the future to be able to understand what the true impact of infertility, family building and health of offspring to be able to include these data in prospective databases and trials. Brittany Harvey: Definitely. And I want to thank you both for raising those really important points. So we'll look forward to this ongoing research and optimizing policies for covering fertility preservation benefits for all patients with cancer. I want to thank you both so much for your work to update this critical guideline and talk about these important needs of people with cancer. And thank you for your time today, Dr. Su and Dr. Loren. Dr. Alison Loren: Thanks so much for having us. Dr. Irene Su: You're welcome. This was really fun. Dr. Alison Loren: It was fun. And I just will add that the team at ASCO is amazing and really made this a pleasure. Dr. Irene Su: I couldn't agree more. And from the point of being a fertility specialist, being invited to be a part of this with ASCO and with all of our colleagues, it's been really amazing. And so thanks for allowing us to contribute. Brittany Harvey: Definitely. And a big thanks to the entire panel as well. And thank you to all of our listeners for tuning in to the ASCO Guidelines podcast.

We're giving you A Little More by revisiting some of the best moments from our Season One guests. Today Hugo tells us his incredible story on surviving both testicular and bowel cancer. Produced by headon.agency

In this replay episode of Manlihood, we're diving back into the incredible story of Saint Nicholas—a man whose life of courage, conviction, and compassion earned him a rightful place in our Testicular Fortitude Series. Most of us know Santa Claus as a jolly man in red, thanks to 19th-century poets and Coca-Cola ads. But the real St. Nicholas? He was a man of grit, faith, and action—a true example of masculinity worth celebrating. The True Story of St. NicholasBorn in 270 AD in Turkey, Nicholas became a priest, a protector of the vulnerable, and a champion of his faith. Despite persecution and imprisonment under Emperor Diocletian, he never backed down. Miracles and LegendsFrom raising murdered children to life, to calming stormy seas, Nicholas's life is packed with miraculous stories that highlight his courage and deep faith. The Origin of Stocking StuffersThe tradition of gifts in stockings stems from Nicholas's compassion. By secretly providing dowries for a poor man's daughters, he saved them from a grim fate. The Slap Heard Around the WorldAt the Council of Nicaea in 325, Nicholas defended the divinity of Christ so boldly that he slapped a heretic, risking his reputation to stand for the truth. Saint Nicholas wasn't just about holiday cheer. He was a man of action and courage, using his strength to protect and serve others. His life is an inspiring example of what it means to be a man of character and fortitude. Rediscover the powerful story of the real St. Nicholas, a man whose Testicular Fortitude made him a legend. This episode of the podcast for men will challenge and inspire you to live boldly and with purpose. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to Manlihood!

I am overweight and make way too many unhealthy food choices. I am trying to get better. I've listened to dozens and dozens of your podcast so I know what I need to be doing. Let's just say I am a junk food addict and breaking all my bad habits is taking me longer than I like. I am trying to put a focus on healthier decisions. In the context of juggling the complexities of a busy life and being a person who still eats too much processed food, I have a couple questions: 1 - I have been drinking a chocolate LMNT with collagen every morning. Knowing I don't have a great diet, is there a point that I shouldn't be having that much sodium? 2 - In an effort to get up my protein intake while still keeping my calories low, I started drinking a protein shake every morning. Is that god awful to do? I know they're better options. A Whole Foods breakfast would be ideal. But with the limited time in the morning, this has seemed to be a pretty good compromise for me at this point in my life. Then I heard someone say you shouldn't drink your protein. So I wanted to get your opinion. I know this isn't the best option, but is it an okay option? 3 - Assuming a protein shake isn't god awful. Do you have a brand that you recommend? Thanks for all you do. I enjoy hearing all of your opinions on all the things (especially the politically stuff). Keep fighting the good fight!! Thanks, Katie Testicular Tumor Patrick writes: Hi Robb and Nicki, Long time listener, love what you guys do. I found a mass on my right testicle earlier this year that I found out last week was a tumor. It was relatively large (about the same dimensions as the testicle) and I met with a uro-oncologist Thursday who recommended surgery ASAP. I had the surgery to remove my right testicle/tumor the next day and am successfully recovering. I've got a couple questions for you: Is there anything that you know of that can help with recovery from this type of procedure other than rest? I had to go under general anesthesia for it and I was left with an incision on the lower right side of my abdomen. Is there anything that you know of that could have caused this or prevented this? The doctor mentioned heavy marijuana use or undescended testicles as a baby as things that could lead to this. Obviously, you hear about all kinds of carcinogens in food, environment, clothing, injections, EMF, etc but I wasn't sure if you had any strong inclinations about any of them being more likely culprits. I'm all for ice baths, wim hof breathing, carnivore/keto adjacent diets but I feel like at some point there's not much those things can do to reverse something like what I had. Which leads me to my final question How do we reconcile the fact that the US healthcare system is broken with the likely fact that without all the numerous systems being there I most likely would have not survived this condition? I'm still learning details about the type of tumor and if it spread but the prognosis is still pretty good. I shouldn't lose any fertility or need HRT at all and treatments are pretty effective for even aggressive testicular cancer. I am grateful to the surgeon and all the clinicians who have helped me so much but if there's any advice as far as things that I should take from the DIY health care space I would be happy to take it. I know that was a lot but please keep up the good work!   BJJ Shoulder Injury Recovery Jon writes: 45/m. eating adamantly gf. minor tears in infra & supraspinatus, medial dislocation of biceps tendon at the superior bicipital groove. suspected partial thickness tear. whoops. my bad. dealing with physio, waiting to hear back from orthopedist regarding surgery… any dietary/ ect recommendations? super open to suggestions to get me back pain free and hopefully on the mats asap. fan since 2010. so c'mon…. c'mooooon.….(best peter griffin voice)     Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Diana Lutfi, a bioethics and legal scholar, who recently authored an amicus brief on behalf of the detransitioners community in the Supreme Court case, United States of America v. Jonathan Skrmetti. We dive deep into the implications of this landmark case, which challenges Tennessee's prohibition on “gender-affirming care” for minors. Diana explains how this case could set a precedent affecting similar laws in 26 states, raising critical questions about the future of sex trait modification.We discuss the complexities surrounding the concept of "standards of care" in pediatric gender treatment, particularly how these standards can be influenced by political agendas rather than solid evidence. Diana emphasizes the importance of recognizing biological differences in healthcare and the inherent discrimination that occurs in medical treatment based on sex. We also explore the tension between parental rights, state regulations, and the autonomy of minors in making life-altering decisions.Throughout our conversation, we aim to uncover the broader implications of this case for healthcare policy and the ethical considerations surrounding permanent sex trait alteration for minors. Join us as we navigate these challenging topics and seek to understand the stakes involved for individuals and families facing these critical decisions.Read the amicus brief here.Donate to support Diana's work.Diana Lutfi, JD, MSHCM, CPHQ is a legal and bioethics scholar, healthcare professional, and advocate of patients' and providers' rights.

From that moment on, the life you've known transforms, adapting to the presence of a tiny, vulnerable human who depends on you completely. At first, fatherhood is about embracing the unknown and finding your way. There's no manual, no clear set of rules to follow, and every dad learns through experience. Many new fathers feel a blend of excitement and fear as they realize the enormity of the role. In those early days, when sleep is scarce, and the house is filled with the sounds of a newborn, the weight of responsibility truly hits home. You're tasked with providing, protecting, and nurturing, which can feel overwhelming, but it's also an experience that teaches resilience and patience. Being a dad involves not only supporting a child but also navigating the emotions and dynamics that come with parenthood. Fathers quickly learn the importance of presence. Simply being there—holding, talking, and connecting with the child—creates a bond that becomes a foundation for life. Fathers learn that their words, actions, and even their reactions are constantly observed and internalized. This makes being mindful a priority; every interaction is a chance to teach love, compassion, and strength. Fatherhood also challenges you to grow as an individual. Children naturally mirror their parents, which becomes a mirror for dads to see their own strengths and areas that may need work. Being a dad means confronting these areas and working to become a better role model. It's about leading by example and teaching through actions rather than just words. Whether it's teaching kindness, empathy, or resilience, every father finds himself examining his own values, becoming someone his child can look up to. One of the most beautiful parts of being a dad is witnessing the milestones and moments that shape a child's growth. From their first steps to their first words, to the time they make friends and experience the world around them, these moments become cherished memories that dads carry for a lifetime. Each milestone brings a new set of challenges, but also a sense of pride and joy. It's a reminder of the precious gift of fatherhood and the privilege of watching a child grow into their own unique person. A dad's role goes beyond the typical definitions of protector or provider; it's about being a source of guidance, laughter, and love. Fathers are there to share stories, to comfort in times of sadness, and to encourage their children to chase their dreams. They're the ones who catch them when they fall and lift them up to try again. These acts, though simple, have a lasting impact on children's confidence and self-worth. Being a dad isn't always easy. There are moments of doubt, fear, and even guilt. You'll worry if you're doing enough, if you're giving them the right tools to face the world. But fatherhood is also a journey of learning and forgiveness. No father is perfect, and every dad makes mistakes. What matters is the effort, the love, and the willingness to keep growing alongside your child. In the end, fatherhood is one of life's greatest adventures. It teaches patience, humility, and an overwhelming love that's hard to describe. Being a dad means being part of something bigger than yourself, giving more than you thought you could, and loving in a way that transforms you. It's a journey you wouldn't trade for anything else.  

This is me, the mic, ya'll listening, no notes and whatever is on my mind. Thanks for listening, take what you want, leave the rest. Today I tell the story on how I got involved with No Shave November and the importance of getting checked out Fella's!  Mentions: HighSpeed Daddy - https://www.highspeeddaddy.com/?rfsn=7178368.317ce6 Live Rishi, use the code "TABLE50" and get 50% off your entire order - https://liverishi.com/ Composure - Use the code "RAW" at check out! - https://composurelifestyle.com/ Me: https://berawpodcast.com/ 'til next time! No-Shave November is an annual event that encourages participants to forgo shaving for the entire month of November to raise awareness for cancer, particularly cancers affecting men, such as prostate and testicular cancer. This campaign invites men—and anyone who wants to participate—to embrace their natural hair growth as a visible show of solidarity with those who lose their hair during cancer treatments. No-Shave November not only raises awareness but also collects donations to fund cancer research, prevention, and education. The origins of No-Shave November trace back to 2009 when the Chicago-based Hill family started the initiative in memory of their father, who passed away from colon cancer. They saw an opportunity to turn a simple act of not shaving into a movement with the power to make a significant impact on cancer awareness. Participants are encouraged to donate the money they would typically spend on shaving supplies to cancer charities, emphasizing that even small sacrifices can make a big difference when done collectively. Over the years, No-Shave November has expanded globally, partnering with organizations such as the American Cancer Society, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and the Prevent Cancer Foundation. One of the key reasons No-Shave November has gained popularity is its approachability. Unlike some other fundraising events, it doesn't require extensive preparation, physical exertion, or a large financial commitment. Simply by growing a beard or letting facial hair grow, men can participate in a way that is visible and starts conversations about cancer. This visibility is especially important for raising awareness about men's health issues, as many cancers affecting men do not get the same level of attention as other forms of cancer. The lack of awareness can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, so initiatives like No-Shave November are critical for informing men and their families about early detection, symptoms, and regular screenings. Beyond raising awareness, No-Shave November fosters a sense of community. Throughout the month, participants share their progress on social media, using hashtags like #NoShaveNovember to document their beard growth, discuss why they're participating, and share stories of loved ones affected by cancer. This online visibility creates a network of support and amplifies the reach of the campaign, helping to spark donations and recruit new participants. The communal aspect of No-Shave November can be empowering, as it gives people a way to honor those battling cancer while collectively contributing to a positive cause. Interestingly, No-Shave November isn't limited to facial hair; many participants choose to let their hair grow in other ways or find alternative ways to take part, regardless of whether they typically shave. This inclusivity is another reason the movement has grown. Women, for instance, can skip waxing or shaving their legs, or support the cause by sharing the message, donating, or spreading awareness through social platforms. By welcoming people from all backgrounds, No-Shave November creates a more inclusive conversation around cancer and unites individuals across gender, geography, and age. In essence, No-Shave November is a month-long movement that merges a lighthearted approach with a serious message. By setting aside shaving routines, participants can prompt discussions about cancer, honor those affected by it, and support critical research efforts. It's a reminder that sometimes, small changes to daily routines can lead to meaningful contributions for a greater cause, helping to improve early detection and ultimately save lives.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Candace F. Granberg, M.D. Developments in cancer treatment have resulted in significant improvements in the survival of malignancy in young children. Unfortunately, these treatments often result in infertility. If these children are pre-pubertal, preservation of mature sperm is not possible. But there is now a procedure which may result in the preservation of fertility by removing testicular tissue, subjecting it to cryopreservation to preserve stem cells capable of producing viable sperm in the future. This procedure is known as testicular tissue cryopreservation and I'll be discussing it with our guest, Candace F. Granberg, M.D., a urologist at the Mayo Clinic.

Cancer in dogs, the warning signs Cancer is a heart-breaking condition that affects too many people around the world. Unfortunately, it also impacts our beloved canine companions. As a dog owner, it's very important to be aware of some of the signs of cancer in dogs – just as it's essential to take heart from the fact that treatments for this disease are improving all the time. Let's take a closer look… Cancer in dogs Unfortunately, cancer is one of the most common illnesses in dogs. 50% of all dogs over the age of 10 are expected to be diagnosed with some form of cancer. This means that recognizing the warning signs is even more important when you have an aging hound on your hands. By being vigilant, and providing age-appropriate exercise, a nutritious diet, and mental stimulation, you're giving your dog the best shot at a long, active, and healthy life. The most common types of dog cancer Dogs and humans can actually develop the same forms of cancer. This list isn't exhaustive, but it should give you a rough idea of the types of cancer that often affect our canine companions: Skin cancer Blood cancer Bone cancer Cancers of the immune system – such as lymphoma Abdominal cancers Cancer of the uterus Mammary (breast) cancer – mainly found in female dogs Testicular cancer Anal cancer The causes of canine cancer The causes of cancer are complex, and that applies to both humans and dogs. For this reason, there isn't one definite cause. Cancer can be triggered by genetics, age, nutrition, and environmental factors. Fortunately, animal experts agree that canine cancer isn't caused by things like bumps and scrapes. Here's a look at some of the common causes of canine cancer: 1. Genetics As with humans, genes that cause cancer can be inherited. This means if your dog's parents developed cancer, your dog is at higher risk. Certain dog breeds are also more generically prone to certain illnesses, including cancer. Golden Retrievers, Boxers, and Rottweilers are considered at higher risk of developing cancer (and specific types of cancer) than other breeds, 2. Carcinogens Carcinogens are harmful substances or features of the environment that can cause cancer. They include second-hand smoke, insecticides used in agriculture, certain viruses, air pollution, and UV rays from the sun. Researchers have found that sun exposure is a significant factor in developing squamous cell carcinoma, a cancerous tumor that can be seen in almost every single domesticated pet breed. Animals with white fur or markings are more likely to develop this form of cancer. 3. Age Sadly, cancer is one of the leading causes of death in dogs over the age of 10, with 50% of older dogs developing the disease and approximately one in four dogs passing from it. However, the reasons for this are largely speculated. 4. The environment In humans, most cancers are related to environmental factors. This can include their diet, their exposure to UV light and various chemicals, and more. The same is likely true for canine cancer, too. Reducing your dog's exposure to environmental hazards – like smoke – is important in reducing their risk of developing cancer. What could help prevent your dog from getting cancer? One thing you could consider is spaying and neutering. Spaying or neutering your dog could prevent ovarian and testicular cancers from developing. Studies have also shown that spaying a female dog before her first or second heat may also help to reduce the risk of breast cancer developing. You should talk to your veterinarian about the best time for your dog to be spayed or neutered, according to their breed. Keeping your dog's mouth clean and healthy may also reduce the risk of oral cancer. As well as trying to reduce your dog's risk of cancer, you should educate yourself on the warning signs, so your veterinarian can catch and treat it early. What are the warning signs of cancer in dogs? Unfortunately, our four-pawed friends can't tell us when something's wrong. We need to be on the lookout for the warning signs of cancer and other diseases. The earlier it can be caught and treated, the better the outcomes tend to be. If you notice one or more of these potential warning signs, reach out to your veterinarian: 1. Tumors, lumps, or unusual growths Tumors are some of the most obvious signs of cancer, but not all tumors are cancerous. There are actually two types: Malignant tumors. This type is cancerous. They grow very quickly and spread around the bodily easily. Benign tumors. This type is not cancerous. They typically grow very slowly and don't tend to spread around the body. Usually, benign tumors are harmless. Problems only occur if the tumor gets in the way of other body parts or organs. You should also be on the lookout for swollen lymph nodes. Fortunately, they don't cause pain, but they can be a sign of lymphoma – which is a form of cancer commonly found in breeds like Golden Retrievers. Any unusual lumps or bumps on your dog should be examined by your vet – especially if their size, shape, or appearance changes. 2. Wounds that won't heal Just like with humans, any small wounds and lesions your dog gets should heal over time. If a wound doesn't seem to be healing – e.g., if you don't see signs of it scabbing over, or hair re-growing – you should contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. This can be a sign of cancer. 3. Abnormal bleeding Bleeding is a red flag in general. But it's especially concerning if you notice bloody eye discharge or bleeding from the nose – as this is a common sign of eye and skin cancers. Unusual bleeding from your dog's mouth is often the first sign of an oral tumor. It's important to be extra vigilant for these, since they often go undetected. Many owners believe bad breath and discharge from their dogs' mouths are a normal part of aging. But they're actually signs of a health problem, and you should always get your dog checked out by a veterinarian if you notice these signs. 4. Lameness If your dog starts limping, slowing down, or putting more weight on a certain limb, this could be an early sign of bone cancer – although it could also just be a sign of joint stiffness. To be on the safe side, arrange for a checkup with your veterinarian if you notice any issues with your dog's movement. 5. Sudden weight loss or gain Weight loss is frequently seen in dogs with cancer. Similarly, sudden weight gain in dogs can also be a sign of canine cancer. If you see any sudden changes in your dog's weight you should contact your veterinarian right away. 6. Lethargy and lack of enthusiasm to exercise As dogs get older, they naturally slow down and lose energy. It's an unfortunate fact, but there are things you can do to help them keep their energy levels and mobility up. Extreme lethargy, or a sudden, unexplained lack of energy, however, can be a sign of various conditions, including cancer. If your dog suddenly loses interest in going for walks, stops greeting you at the door, or doesn't want to play with their favorite toy, these are all red flags to investigate. Other warning signs include your dog sleeping too much or taking longer to respond to noises or commands. 7. Unusual bowel movements If you've had your dog for years, you probably know what's normal and what's not when it comes to their toilet habits. Unusual stool can be the first sign of many different illnesses. Take a look at this guide to find out what your dog's poo tells you. In particular, you should be on the lookout for bloody or black, tarry stools, or diarrhea – these are often a sign of ulcers, but can sometimes indicate mast cell tumors. What to do if your pet is showing warning signs If you spot any signs that your dog might have cancer, it's extremely important to contact your veterinarian straight away. They'll be able to run a number of tests including X-rays, ultrasounds, and blood tests, to figure out what's wrong. Early detection greatly helps your dog's chances of beating cancer. It can also make a major difference in treating various other issues that your dog may be dealing with. The good news? There's no two ways about it, a cancer diagnosis is heartbreaking. But it doesn't mean you should have to live in fear. Every single year, dogs are living longer and longer – which just goes to show how far pet care and veterinary medicine have advanced. In fact, nowadays there are more options than ever. Treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are readily available. And, as we mentioned before, early detection greatly improves your dog's chances of living a long, happy, healthy, and active life. Think your dog is showing any of these common signs of cancer? It's best to get in touch with your vet. And, if you're not doing so already, annual visits to the vet are essential.

In this podcast, we will discuss the potential risks and downsides of taking testosterone, as it can negatively affect your hormonal responses and even inhibit the body's natural production of testosterone. Your body has a complex hormone feedback system that the brain uses to communicate to turn on or off testosterone production. When you change your natural hormone levels with external sources, there can be many side effects that may reduce your quality of life. The effects of taking testosterone may include: •Worsening sleep apnea •Moodiness •Acne •Dizziness •Higher risk of heart disease •Decreased fertility •Thickening of blood •Testicular atrophy •Erectile dysfunction Before taking any testosterone supplements, it is important to identify the root cause of low testosterone levels. This can include: • Age • Insulin resistance • Low zinc • Protein deficiency • Low-fat diet • Statins • High soy diet • Low vitamin A or vitamin D • Excessive physical activity • Insomnia • Liver issues • Obesity Fortunately, you can increase testosterone naturally by getting enough rest and a nutritious diet. Here are more ways to boost your testosterone levels: • Weight training • More zinc in the diet • Vitamin D • More fatty foods with less carbs • DHEA supplements • Getting more REM sleep • Lose weight • Lowering blood sugar with a keto diet • Intermittent fasting • Sufficient protein in the diet DATA: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science...

In the heart of the maelstrom that was World War I, amidst the chaos of battlefields and the deafening roars of machine guns, a most unexpected hero emerged—an unassuming man named Alvin York. York's journey was not one of conventional heroism; rather, it was a saga of unwavering courage, unyielding faith, and a relentless commitment to a higher calling. Testicular Fortitude is presented by Haines Knives - http://hainesknives.com/manlihood Enter to win an EDC by Haines Knives here: http:manlihood.com/contests York has been called “The Deadliest Pacifist in US History.” After he single-handedly captured 132 enemy soldiers, they asked him how he did it. He said, "I surrounded them." Alvin York's testicular fortitude was in his strategic brilliance that completely went against all of the conventional norms of warfare. He was born in a log cabin near the Tennessee-Kentucky border in 1887, grew up in a family sustained by subsistence farming and hunting.  In 1915, he had an experience with God, and became a devout Christian As World War I engulfed the world, York, now a man of profound faith, sought conscientious objector status upon being drafted.  That pacifist position was challenged though, when he encountered Luke 22:36  "He who hath no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one." Guided by those words from Jesus, York abandoned his initial stance and enlisted in the U.S. Army's 82nd Infantry Division. The crucible of York's heroism unfolded on October 8, 1918, during the Meuse-Argonne offensive, the final Allied push against German forces. Tasked with seizing German-held positions, York's battalion was under fire - a German machine-gun nest rained bullets upon them. As chaos ensued and the unit's numbers dwindled, York was thrust to the forefront, commanding a squad of merely 17 men. Undeterred by the odds, York, feeling a divine calling, advanced alone against the machine-gun position. Drawing upon his sharpshooting skills cultivated during Tennessee Turkey hunting days, he systematically neutralized the enemy. The undergrowth around him ablaze with gunfire, York's determination and marksmanship cut through the chaos,with lethal precision. Ammo was running short. Six Germans charged him with bayonettes, and with only seven shots, he took out all six. As he approached the German commanding officer, the tide of the battle irreversibly turned. Faced with the inevitable, the officer surrendered his entire unit, a total of 132 men, in exchange for his life. York's story reverberated far beyond the battlefield. Lauded as "the war's biggest hero" by The New York Times and hailed by General John J. Pershing as "the greatest civilian soldier" of World War I, York returned home to a hero's welcome. He leveraged his fame to found a school for underprivileged children, the York Industrial Institute. In 1941, Hollywood immortalized his bravery in the movie "Sergeant York," starring Gary Cooper.  When York died in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson eulogized him as "a symbol of American courage and sacrifice," embodying "the gallantry of American fighting men and their sacrifices on behalf of freedom." Alvin York, A humble man propelled by faith and armed with unyielding determination, became a symbol of courage, defying expectations and inspiring generations.  His name echoes as a testament to the enduring power of faith, courage, and commitment on the battlefield.

Early detection of cancer seems like a very good idea. But it's a lot more complicated than it seems. Oncologist and epidemiologist Vinay Prasad of the University of California, San Francisco talks to EconTalk's Russ Roberts about why many tests to detect cancer do little or nothing to extend lifespan.
