About this episode

This episode explores the communication gap between bodybuilders and their doctors, emphasizing the importance of collaborative medical conversations.

Most bodybuilders go to their GP already knowing what they want. This episode explores why that often backfires, and how to have more collaborative, less defensive medical conversations. Something worth sharing: "The dogs keep barking, but the caravan keeps moving." Meaning: Ignore the noise outside, and keep moving towards your goals Would you rather? A. Get a debilitating erection with every 3rd patient you treat? OR B. Every 3rd patient you treat leaves with the overwhelming sensation you're judging them and don't like them? Fan of the show?
