Dr Georgios Mavropalias has moved from a background in scientific research into direct support focusing on men with cancer.

Dr Georgios Mavropalias focused his early career on research, particularly around the effects of exercise on health and wellbeing. He decided to share his interests on YouTube in a series of videos and soon attracted a considerable following. The interchanges this promoted led him to understand the need amongst men for meaningful support through cancer, and the cultural barriers that men have to confront to overcome their ‘island’ mentality and reach out, even when appropriate services exist. This experience naturally drew Dr Georgios to become more personally involved in direct coaching support.
