SH&TNS - Beyond the Stats: Why Are Canadian Men Dying Too Soon?

In a compelling discussion, Shane Hewitt speaks with Dr. John Oliffe, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Men’s Health Promotion at the University of British Columbia, about the alarming state of men’s health in Canada. They discuss the troubling reality that over 40% of Canadian men die prematurely from largely preventable causes, with outcomes varying by region and access to care. Dr. Oliffe emphasizes that stigma, gender bias, and low health literacy hinder men’s engagement with healthcare, and the resulting poor health has wide-reaching effects on families and communities.
