It Can't Hurt To Ask is back. This season we're taking a deep dive into your men's health questions and concerns.
We're starting this season by tackling the big topic of risk taking and injury. You'll hear from our expert, emergency department physician Dr Tigue Tozer, who'll take us through why men take more risks, common injuries and how you recover and build your resilience.
You'll also hear from Queensland men, Kai and Jim, who share their stories of sports injury and risk-taking behaviours.
For anyone who has pushed the limits in sports, adventure, work, or just done something plain silly, this episode is for you. We will explain the science and biology behind risk taking and share with you how to train smarter, be safer, and bounce back faster after injury.
Why do young men take more risks? Do expectations of toughness and masculinity lead to risky behaviour? What’s the best way to prevent injuries and recover optimally? How do mental health and resilience factor into risk taking and recovery? Listen to find out.
If you'd like to learn more about men's health, we have a whole season lined up. Make sure you listen to our next episode, where we explore mental fitness and if men can bio hack their brains.
Feel free to leave us a review too — we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
