39: Beyond the Step Count - Biometrics, Bands and Bull***t

Wearable health trackers have gone from niche gadget to mainstream obsession — and for good reason. But with so many metrics, devices, and conflicting claims, it can be hard to know what actually matters. In this episode of Tackle Talk Men's Health, we walk you through everything from the basics — steps, resting heart rate, sleep tracking — right through to the more advanced stuff: HRV, VO₂ max, and even continuous glucose monitors. By the end, you'll know exactly what to track, what to ignore, and whether the device on your wrist is genuinely working for your health.

38: GP Urology Masterclass 2026 - Messages for Men's Health

Recorded live from the floor of the 2026 GP MasterClass, this special Men’s Health Week episode puts the mic in front of the GPs who see men’s health up close, every single day. We asked them one simple question: if you had thirty seconds with the men in your life, what would you want them to know? Their answers are honest, practical, and occasionally blunt — covering everything from why putting off a check-up is the riskiest move a man can make, to the small habits that quietly add years to a life. Whether you’re the bloke who avoids the doctor or the person nagging him to book in, consider this your nudge.

37: "What Dying Men Taught Me About Fatherhood"- Professor Bruce Robinson and the Fathering Project

What do men regret most when they're dying? Not working less. Not taking fewer risks. Over and over, it's the same thing: "I wish I'd spent more time with my kids." Professor Bruce Robinson heard that enough times to do something about it. A respiratory physician and cancer researcher at UWA, Bruce founded The Fathering Project — now one of Australia's most important  charities. In this episode we talk about what the evidence actually shows when fathers are truly engaged — for their kids, for their families, and for themselves. We also get into why so many men pull back, what good fathering looks like in practice, and how Bruce built a national movement out of a bedside observation. If you're a dad, know a dad, or have ever had one — this one's worth your hour.

36: The GLP-1 Revolution

You’ve seen the headlines about Ozempic and Wegovy — but what do these drugs actually mean for you?   GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed how we treat obesity and type 2 diabetes, and the benefits don’t stop there.   In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Vijay Panicker, endocrinologist, to explore how these medications work, what they mean for your heart health and weight, and what exciting new indications are emerging beyond diabetes and obesity.   If you’ve been curious about GLP-1 medications, whether for yourself or someone you care about, this is a great place to start.

35: Season 2 Kickoff - What’s Really Happening in Men’s Health Right Now

Welcome back to Tackle Talk Men’s Health — it’s Season 2, and we’re kicking things off after a bit of a break. A lot has changed in the men’s health space while we’ve been away. The conversation has gotten louder, more complex, and in some cases, more confusing. From the rise of the manosphere and what it means for how men are getting health advice, to the explosion of new treatments like GLP-1 medications for obesity… there’s no shortage of noise out there. We’re also seeing a huge surge in wearable tech — everyone’s tracking something — but are we actually getting healthier, or just more data-obsessed? On top of that, there’s growing concern around male fertility, with real questions about what’s driving the decline and what can be done about it. And then there’s the increasing interest in peptides and performance-enhancing therapies — often talked about online, not always well understood. So this season, we’re cutting through the hype, the misinformation, and the quick fixes — and getting back to what actually matters: evidence-based, practical, no-nonsense men’s health. Good to be back. Let’s get into it.
