    UCC Student Dietitian Podcast, Men’s Health Table Talk, Nutrition and Cancer related Andropause” Episode 3 W/Shirley O'Shea.

    Welcome to the final episode of our 3-part series “Men’s Health Table Talk, Nutrition and Cancer related Andropause” by UCC student Dietitians Daniel Coakley and Emma Barrett.      So far on this series, we have spoken with RD Katie Johnston who provided us with some very insightful and evidence-based information about the nutritional consequences oftentimes faced by male cancer survivors as a result of their cancer treatment. We also chatted about the changes that occur in body composition along with the importance of evidence-based information when it comes to supplements and potential dietary changes.       In our second episode, we spoke with coach and personal trainer Aidan Hunter, who provided us with a very personal account of his own journey with cancer having faced testicular cancer twice in his mid 20’s. Aidan’s honest and candid discussion was a powerful reminder of how important early detection and screening is when it comes to cancer prevention.       For our final episode, we will explore evidence based recommendations to reduce cancer recurrence for male cancer survivors. These guidelines can also be applied to people listening who would like to reduce their risk of cancer.    In the second half of this episode, we will be chatting with Health Promotion Officer Shirley O’Shea about her expertise in public health and working with individuals with cancer. Shirly’s main role is centered around physical activity promotion with a special interest in exercise oncology. We explore the current services and support available for male cancer survivors going through or who have been through treatment. We also discuss strategies to encourage more men to access healthcare and health-related services, aiming to break the stigma surrounding men speaking openly about their health.     Links to some useful resources and topics discussed in today’s episode:    World Cancer Research Fund: https://www.wcrf.org/     International Agency for Research on Cancer: https://www.iarc.who.int/     HSE Healthy Eating Guidelines https://www.hse.ie/healthyeatingguidelines/     HSE Healthy Eating Active Living https://www2.hse.ie/living-well/.     Get Ireland Walking https://www.getirelandwalking.ie/     Drink Aware: https://www.drinkaware.ie/    The Irish Cancer Society: https://www.cancer.ie/     Cork Cancer Support House: https://corkcancersupport.ie/     Men Against Cancer: https://macprostatecancersupport.ie/men-against-cancer/      Research papers mentioned in today’s episode:    Recent review on common symptoms and conditions related to endocrine disorders among survivors of adult-onset cancer:  Link-Rachner CS, Göbel A, Jaschke NP, Rachner TD.
