We've been taught that supporting men's health somehow takes away from supporting women's health. This episode shatters that zero-sum myth, arguing that raising one boat raises all.

Host Buzz Bishop is joined by Nicky Dhaliwal (Canadian Men's Health Foundation), Mike Cameron (Connected Men), and Clair Davis (Midlife Mentors) to discuss why men's health is family health. 

The group gets honest about what they’re seeing in homes, workplaces, and communities: women feeling judged for supporting men; men afraid of mentoring after #MeToo; and young men experiencing anger at nearly double the national rate. 

They dive into startling CMHF research showing 50% of young men (19–29) are at risk of problem anger and violent impulses. The key to breaking this cycle and building resilience? Deep Connection

This episode offers tangible self-care and connection steps to support men's mental health:
The Power of Exclusive Spaces: Why men-only workshops create a unique, safe dynamic where men feel permission to open up and be vulnerable.
Be Curious, Not Assuming: Claire shares the need to be curious about the men in your life and avoid the shame-based assumptions that keep the shadow bag closed.
Use Silence as a Tool: When you ask, "How are you?" allow the silence to breathe; that’s where the truth shows up.
Emotions Drive Behavior: Mike explains the sequence: emotion → decisions → behaviors → results.
Hug Until They Let Go: A beautifully simple piece of advice from CMHF/Blueprint for building stronger relationships with your kids.

A healthy man is not a perfect man. He just needs a thousand small acts of connection to move the needle. Tune in to find out how to create the space for those acts.

The Don’t Change Much Podcast is about men’s mental and physical health and conversations that build awareness, educate and provide simple lifestyle tips to help men and their families take action for better well-being. 

Each episode, host Dan Murphy is joined by Canada’s top influencers, world class athletes and subject matter experts who share their lived experiences and insights for better mental and physical health. 

The goal is to have real conversations about the things so many of us don’t prioritize: lowering stress, eating healthier, getting active and the impacts of not taking care of ourselves. 

Don’t Change Much is all about encouraging men to make simple changes that can have a big impact on their health, their families and their communities. Better health doesn’t have to mean a lifestyle overhaul.

Don't Change Much

The Don’t Change Much Podcast is a men’s mental and physical health podcast for men who feel overwhelmed, under pressure, or quietly carrying more than they let on.

Hosted by Trevor Botkin and Mike Cameron, the show features honest, stigma-free conversations about men’s health — from mental health and emotional well-being to physical health, stress, anger, relationships, addiction, and resilience.

Twice a month, Trevor and Mike sit down with athletes, health experts, influential Canadians, and people with lived experience to talk about what men are facing right now. These are real conversations about feeling disconnected, struggling in silence, navigating loss or illness, rebuilding after crisis, and learning how to ask for help without shame.

Created by the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation, the trusted voice of men’s health, this podcast blends lived experience with expert-backed insight to help men take action earlier, prevent illness, and build healthier lives for themselves, their families, and their communities.

You don’t need to change everything.
Sometimes, not changing much, but changing something, can save your life.
