Author: Allan Misner March 17, 2026 Duration: 43:20

On episode 738 of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, host Coach Allan is joined by urologic oncology expert Dr. Nitin Yerram to shed light on a topic that hits especially close to home—kidney cancer.

As Coach Allan himself recovers from a recent radical nephrectomy, he shares his own journey, making this conversation both timely and deeply personal.

Together, they dive into why kidney cancer is being diagnosed at younger ages, the often subtle signs and symptoms to watch out for, and the realities of detection—including why blood in the urine is a red flag that can't be ignored. Dr. Yerram unpacks what to expect from a diagnosis, clarifies the risks and treatment options, and provides actionable advice on lifestyle and prevention. This episode isn't just for those facing a diagnosis—it's a must-listen for anyone wanting to be proactive about their health.
