Walk It Off: Men Don't Talk About Cancer
Matthew Zachary Worldwide
4 episodes
3 months ago

Men don’t talk about cancer. They should.

Walk It Off is a no-BS, three-episode series for men with cancer who are tired of going through this alone. No soft-focus inspiration. No sugarcoating. Just real conversations about what it means to be a man facing cancer in a world that still expects you to tough it out and keep quiet.

Men often delay care, stay silent, and suffer in isolation because they’ve been told asking for help makes them weak. That silence leads to late diagnoses, fewer options, and little support for the mental and emotional toll cancer takes. And for men in certain communities, the barriers are even higher.

This series breaks through that. Patients, advocates, and experts who get it talk about what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to change. How to get the right care. How to push past stigma. How to live your life without losing yourself along the way.

More men are speaking up. More communities are forming. But this fight isn’t over—and neither is this conversation. Walk It Off keeps it moving.

Chronic Zen
Michael Kramer was 19 when cancer ambushed his life. He went from surfing Florida beaches to chemo, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant that left him alive but carrying a chronic disease. He had necrosis in his knees and elbows, lost his ability to surf for years, and found himself stuck in hospitals instead of the ocean. Yet he adapted. Michael picked up a guitar, built Lego sets, led support groups, and started sharing his story on Instagram and TikTok. We talk about masculinity, identity, and what happens when the thing that defines you gets stripped away. He opens up about dating in Miami, freezing sperm at a children’s hospital, awkward Uber-for-sperm moments with his brother, and how meditation became survival. Michael lost his father to cancer when he was a teen, and that grief shaped how he lives and advocates today. He is funny, grounded, and honest about the realities of survivorship in your twenties. This episode shows what resilience looks like when you refuse to walk it off and choose to speak it out loud instead.
