The Mid•Point with Gabby Logan

Although we speak a lot about women's health on The Midpoint, it's also important to look at men's health and what we should take notice of. Kenny's diagnosis changed a lot of things with regards to our awareness of health and proved that we should always get ahead of what can go wrong or actually look for the signs before something really does become an issue.Today's guest is someone who is at the absolute forefront of Men's Health in this country. Professor Vaibhav Modgil is a Consultant Urological Surgeon at Manchester Royal Infirmary and one of the UK's leading experts in andrology — which is essentially the study of male health and the male reproductive system. He has just won one of the most prestigious awards in British urology and his whole career has been built around not just treating men, but understanding them.He has introduced pioneering microsurgical techniques to the North West, and his specialist practice covers everything from erectile dysfunction and testosterone deficiency to complex reconstruction. He founded the Manchester Andrology Research Collaborative, has published over sixty academic papers, and has contributed to international guidelines on men's health across Europe and America. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Trends in Urology and Men's Health.Whether this is relevant to you, or someone you care about, hopefully you will find something useful to take away. Hosted on Acast.

Together, we look at why humans cling to rituals, what it really takes to shift ingrained habits, and how self-awareness can open the door to something more intentional.This episode marks a reflective pause in the journey: a chance to examine the everyday dependencies we often overlook, and to ask what freedom might look like — not in dramatic transformations, but in small, meaningful changes.A thoughtful Midpoint conversation about awareness, agency, and the stories we tell ourselves about control.More than 40 percent of respondents who began drinking before age 15 were classified with alcohol dependence at some time in their lives, the researchers found: https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/age-drinking-onset-predicts-future-alcohol-abuse-and-dependence Hosted on Acast.
