Testosterone is often blamed for fueling prostate cancer but many men never hear that losing it too soon may cause far more harm.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti challenges long‑held assumptions about Androgen Deprivation Therapy and explains why lowering testosterone rarely delivers the long‑term benefits men are promised. He breaks down how castration therapy, whether through injections, pills, or surgical removal, leads to a rapid decline in vitality: weaker muscles, cognitive slowdown, loss of libido, weight gain, and higher risks of heart disease and dementia.  

Through real patient stories and clear clinical reasoning, Dr. Stephen shows how men can stay healthy for years, even with high PSAs, when they resist fear‑driven treatment decisions. He emphasizes the importance of MRI monitoring, thoughtful timing, and avoiding biopsies that create unnecessary risk.  

Discover why lowering testosterone fails more men than it helps. Watch the episode of The Hidden Cost of Androgen Deprivation Therapy.

Most men hear “you need a biopsy” and assume it’s the responsible next step. But what if the real risk is the procedure itself?

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti breaks down the painful, under‑recognized consequences of prostate biopsies: lingering pain, infections, hospitalizations, urinary obstruction, erectile issues, and long-term trauma to a vital gland. He highlights research suggesting that disrupting the prostate capsule may allow cancer cells to spread, a risk rarely mentioned in the exam room.

Drawing from the ProtecT trial and other pivotal studies, Dr. Stephen makes a compelling case that biopsies do not improve survival and instead create a “treadmill” of anxiety, repeated testing, and unnecessary treatment. He shows how PSA, MRI, and clinical judgment can guide care safely without puncturing the gland.

Staying strong through prostate cancer means more than treatments and procedures.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti offers a clear, rational approach to understanding what a PSA increase really means and how to respond with confidence. Dr. Stephen explains why so many men fall into what he calls “PSA paranoia,” where a single number sparks panic and unnecessary interventions. He breaks down the facts: PSA levels naturally rise with age and prostate size, and even temporary factors, like illness, sex, or biking, can cause fluctuations. 

Instead of rushing into biopsies or aggressive treatments, he guides listeners to ask three essential questions before taking action: Is the number accurate? What’s causing the rise? And is intervention actually necessary? Through his Intellectual Medicine Petteruti Protocol, Dr. Stephen emphasizes proactive, evidence-based care that protects both health and quality of life. 

If your PSA has gone up, this episode will help you make decisions grounded in science, not fear. Tune in now: PSA Rising? Ask These 3 Questions.

What stops cancer from spreading? And are focal therapies like TULSA and HIFU really enough?

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti breaks down the truth behind popular focal therapies, including the TULSA procedure and High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). He explains their limitations, what current studies actually show, and why these treatments may sound appealing but often fall short in preventing the spread of prostate cancer.
