It’s been a big few months for the hosts at Tackle Talk Men’s Health! In this special recap episode, we take a breather to reflect on what we’ve been up to, revisit some of the key conversations from recent episodes, and share a few behind-the-scenes updates.

Join us as we unpack insights from our deep dives into cardiac health, men and menopause, and cutting-edge cancer and prostate treatments. We’ll also revisit stories of transitioning from professional sport to life beyond the game, explore knee health and injury prevention, and discuss the real-world implications of alcohol use on men’s wellbeing.

It’s a great chance to catch up, reflect, and look ahead to what’s next in men’s health.

Welcome back to Tackle Talk Men’s Health, the show where we have honest conversations about the stuff that matters for men’s wellbeing, relationships, and life.

Our latest episode might sound a little different—because it’s not directly about men’s health. It’s about understanding the women in our lives. Whether that’s your partner, your mum, your sister, a friend, or a work colleague—every man benefits from knowing what women go through in midlife. And here’s the thing: menopause and perimenopause aren’t just ‘women’s issues.’ They affect relationships, families, and workplaces too.

We’re joined by Dr Lucy Caratti, an Integrative Medical Doctor here in Perth with over 15 years of experience in women’s health, hormonal balance, fertility, and integrative health care. She’s passionate about helping women navigate life changes like menopause—and she’s here to help us blokes understand what’s really going on, how we can be supportive, and yes… to clear up a few myths we’ve probably been carrying around for years.

We’ll talk about what actually happens during perimenopause and menopause, why it can sometimes put pressure on relationships, and even whether these changes could be part of the reason we see more divorces in midlife. We’ll also get into the role of hormones you might not expect—like testosterone in women—and how lifestyle and environment play a massive part in health at this stage of life.

By the end of this episode, you’ll not only understand menopause better—you’ll have practical ways to show empathy, support, and maybe even strengthen your relationships in the process.

In this essential episode of Tackle Talk Men's Health, hosts Dr. Lloyd Evans and Dr. Andrew Tan sit down with Consultant Cardiologist Dr. Paul Maggiore to tackle the leading cause of death in men—cardiovascular disease.

Together, they explore a modern, personalised, and risk-stratified approach to cardio-metabolic health aimed at preventing heart attacks before they happen. From assessing coronary risk through advanced imaging techniques like coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and CT coronary angiography (CTCA), to optimising lipid profiles, glycaemic control, and weight management, this conversation goes deep into practical, evidence-based strategies every man should know.

The team also discusses the role of medications—statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists—and how these, combined with tailored lifestyle changes in diet and exercise, can dramatically reduce cardiovascular risk. It’s a multidisciplinary approach to prevention with real-world impact.

If you have a heart (and want to keep it healthy), this episode is for you.
