There are a few myths in men’s health that I see over and over again.

Assumptions are never helpful and often arent true.

What I find that holds men back isn’t the condition itself, it’s fear of what it might mean.

This conversation with Dr Gidon Ellis was about cutting through that fear and replacing it with clarity.

If any of those thoughts have ever crossed your mind, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out in isolation.

Watch the full episode for the full discussion, and share this with someone who might need a nudge to start that first conversation.

I see this a lot in clinic.

A man comes in for something completely different. A cough, a rash, something easy.

And then, right at the end, almost as he’s about to leave, he’ll say: 'Actually… can I ask about my erections?'

If that’s how you’ve done it, that’s totally okay.

These conversations can feel awkward. Unfortunately there's still a lot of embarrassment around men’s sexual health.

But what I also see, time and time again, is that once that first conversation happens, everything gets easier. Confidence improves and men feel much more in control again.

You don’t have to say it perfectly, you just have to start.

If this sounds like you, take it as permission to start the conversation.

And if you know someone who might need to hear this, share it with them. The full episode is out now.

A lot of men quietly ask themselves this at some point.

Dr Gidon Ellis explains what erectile dysfunction actually is and how it’s different from the occasional wobble most men experience.

Stress, fatigue, alcohol, pressure. All of these can affect erections from time to time and that doesn’t automatically mean there’s a problem.

What matters is pattern and persistence.

If something has been going on for weeks rather than moments, that’s usually when it’s worth having a proper conversation rather than guessing or worrying in silence.

If this question has crossed your mind before, you’re not alone.

The full episode is out now if you want a clear, honest breakdown of erections, ED and what actually helps.

Dr Gidon Ellis is back on The Health Perspective this week, sharing something I really wish more young men heard earlier.

He talks about testicular cancer and the part that often gets missed.

When it’s found early, outcomes are excellent and treatment is very effective.

The key is familiarity. Knowing what’s normal for you, so that if something ever changes, you notice it early and get it checked.

Checking yourself can be simple habit that makes a real difference.

If you’re a guy in your teens, 20s or 30s, this is worth knowing.

Please share this video with someone you think it might help.

And if you want the wider context around men’s health, cancer risk and when to act, the full episode is out now.

One of the most important moments in this conversation came right at the end.

When I asked Gidon what message he’d want men to take away, it was simple and practical.

So many men delay getting help because of embarrassment. I see it constantly in clinic, symptoms get tolerated for months, sometimes years, because speaking about them feels uncomfortable.

But the reality is this, most prostate symptoms are common, manageable, and very often treatable. And in many cases, a conversation alone is the turning point.

If something has been on your mind, take this as permission to stop carrying it quietly.

And if you know someone who tends to 'just get on with it', please send them this post.

The full episode is out now if you want the bigger picture.

I asked Dr Gidon Ellis what the biggest prostate he’s ever seen was.

The answer is pretty wild, but what matters more is what it doesn’t tell you.

Some men with very large prostates have hardly any symptoms. Others with much smaller prostates can be really uncomfortable day to day.

Size alone doesn’t explain prostate problems.

Did this surprise you?

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s worth getting checked or at least starting a conversation.

And if you want to understand this properly, the full episode is out now.

Most men are never actually told what the prostate is or why it matters.

But Dr Gidon Ellis breaks down the prostate in very simple terms on the latest episode of The Health Perspective.

Once you understand the basics, a lot of the confusion around prostate health starts to make sense. Not just regarding symptoms or for tests, but why the prostate is even part of the conversation in the first place.

This is one of those foundations that rarely gets explained properly, which is exactly why we wanted to talk about it.

This week on The Health Perspective, I’m joined by Dr Gidon Ellis, Consultant Urological Surgeon, and we start with a very important question...

Is prostate cancer actually increasing?

With the headlines, celebrity stories and constant media coverage, it can feel like prostate cancer is suddenly everywhere and that can understandably create anxiety.

What I found really interesting in this conversation with Dr Gidon is that the data doesn’t show a major rise in prostate cancer rates. What’s changed is awareness.

More open discussion, more men coming forward, and more opportunities to catch problems earlier.

And that shift is a positive one.

Has prostate cancer felt more visible to you recently?

Let me know what you’ve noticed, and watch the full episode, now live on my YouTube channel, if you want the wider context and practical takeaways.

Weight gain is one of the first things people worry about when antidepressants come up.

A lot of what’s said online makes it sound inevitable or dramatic, which isn’t usually how it plays out in real life. That kind of noise can make decisions feel much harder than they need to be.

This carousel looks at five common myths I hear all the time, and the realities that tend to get lost in the conversation.

The aim here isn’t to convince anyone of anything, just to help people think about weight changes in a calmer, more balanced way.

Swipe through for the full picture, save this if it’s something you’ve worried about, and please share it with someone who might need a bit of reassurance.

This is something experience really teaches you.

When people understand side effects upfront, why they might happen and what to do if they do, they tend to feel more confident, not more fearful.

They’re less likely to blame themselves, and more likely to stick with treatment when it’s helping.

And it’s always worth remembering that every decision has two sides.

We often focus on the risks of treatment, but untreated anxiety or depression has consequences too.

Good decisions come from seeing the whole picture.

Does this feel like a fair way to weigh things up? Let me know.

30/01/2026

This is something I’m really careful about in clinic.

Side effects can make people question whether continuing treatment is the right thing to do, especially when weight is involved. But stopping suddenly often creates far bigger problems than the side effect itself.

What matters here is support and conversation. There are usually options, and you don’t need to make these decisions on your own.

If this has ever crossed your mind, you’re not the only one.

Let me know if this has helped you.

The new episode of The Health Perspective is now live, and this week we’re talking about antidepressants and weight gain...one of the most common concerns I hear in clinic.

It’s a topic that’s often discussed in extremes online, which can make people feel anxious before they’ve even started treatment. What’s often missing from those conversations is context.

When you look at large-scale data, the average weight change associated with commonly prescribed antidepressants is much smaller and more gradual than many people expect.

That doesn’t mean everyone’s experience is the same, but it does mean weight changes can usually be monitored and talked through over time rather than feared upfront.

Has weight gain been a concern for you with antidepressants? Would love to hear your thoughts if you're comfortable in sharing.
