Changing the Face of Men’s Health, with Liam Cavanagh from Movember

Scott Davison Episode 32

Did you know that men on average will die six years younger than women? 

And there is no justifiable reason for this. Most of the causes of premature death are things that could easily be prevented if men learn to take better care of themselves. 

The Movember Foundation is on a mission to tackle three of the biggest issues facing men’s health, which are: suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. 

In this interview, Liam Cavanagh from Movember explains how these issues are affecting men, what we can do to prevent them and how to get on board the Movember movement.
