Unexpected Diagnosis
Prostate Cancer and the Wake-Up Call to Live Healthier and Happier

Unexpected Diagnosis by Gabe Canales – book cover

How did a young guy end up with an “old man’s disease”?
In 2010, I was 35 years old, with no symptoms or family history — and I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Unexpected Diagnosis is my journey to uncover the unconscious lifestyle habits that are quietly undermining the health of American men.

Through my experience navigating cancer, I learned how diet, exercise, mindset, and purpose can radically shift outcomes. I share insights from doctors, athletes, and advocates — and reveal how masculinity and health can coexist.

Whether you’re facing a diagnosis or trying to prevent one, this book offers real hope and practical change.
