You feel fine. Nothing hurts. Everything seems normal. But that doesn’t always mean you’re healthy. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with medical oncologist and prevention researcher Dr. Zia Poonja to talk about a problem many men don’t realize they’re facing until it’s too late. The gap between feeling healthy and actually being healthy. Because for a lot of men, the warning signs don’t show up until years, sometimes decades, after the damage has already started. Dr. Poonja introduces the idea of healthspan. Not just how long you live, but how long you stay strong, capable, and independent. The conversation explores why so many men avoid doctors, delay testing, or assume they’re fine simply because they don’t have symptoms. And how that mindset can quietly lead to bigger problems later on. It also challenges the idea of “normal” health. Just because your numbers fall within a range doesn’t mean you’re operating at your best. One of the most powerful ideas in the episode is a simple shift in perspective. Instead of asking, “Do I feel okay right now?” Ask, “Am I building a body that will hold up 20 or 30 years from now?” Because the goal isn’t just to live longer. It’s to stay strong enough to actually enjoy the life you’ve built. This isn’t about fear or drastic change. It’s about paying attention earlier, making small adjustments, and giving yourself a better chance at a healthier future. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why many men feel healthy but aren’t actually healthyThe difference between lifespan vs healthspan (and why it matters)Why waiting for symptoms is one of the biggest health mistakes men makeHow “normal” test results can still hide underlying riskWhy strength and muscle are critical for long-term healthThe real reason men avoid doctors and delay testingHow to start thinking about your future health todaySimple ways men can take a more proactive approach to their health Support This Podcast and Canadian Men's Health Foundation https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/ Follow Dr Zia Poonja LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-zia-poonja-38481237/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/my_healthspan/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ownmyhealthspan/ Website - https://www.myhealthspan.com/ Follow Canadian Men’s Health Foundation Website - https://menshealthfoundation.ca/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/menshealthfdn/Facebook - https://facebook.com/menshealthfoundation Follow Mike Cameron Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mikecameron.ca/Youtube - https://youtube.com/mikecameronspeaks Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mikedavidcameron/X - Mike Cameron (@axiommike) / X LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/mikecameronWebsite - https://mikecameron.ca/TedX Talk - https://www.ted.com/talks/mike_cameron_redefining_badass_the_way_we_think_about_strong_is_wrong Follow Trevor Botkin Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/gsnscreativeMuster Point IG - https://www.instagram.com/the_musterpointFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/gsnscreativeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-botkin-869ab5143/Support Men & Their Familes: https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
