Don’t Fear the Finger: What Your Doctor Wants You To Know with Dr. Fiyinfolu Balogun and Christopher Williams
On this episode of H&BWMF, we dive cheek-first into the world of prostate and colon cancer screenings—because nothing says “I love you” to your future self like a little awkward discomfort today with special guests Christopher Williams and Dr. Fiyinfolu Balogun. Join us as we demystify the who, what, and where (hint: it’s exactly where you think) of these life saving tests. We’ll tackle myths, share laugh-out-loud anecdotes, and answer questions you didn’t know you had, like: “Do I really have to do this?” (Yes.) and “Will I ever make eye contact with my doctor again?” (Eventually). With a mix of humor, honesty, and a touch of rear-end reality, this episode proves that taking care of your health doesn’t have to be a total pain in the butt.You don't want to miss this episode.
