  • Estrogen for Prostate Cancer? New Study Misses the Real Problem
    Mar 31 2026

    Stronger outcomes in prostate cancer come from protecting vitality.

    In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti challenges the idea that estrogen could be a meaningful solution for prostate cancer. He explains how recent studies comparing estrogen therapy to androgen deprivation focus on lowering testosterone rather than improving real health outcomes. The result? Similar survival outcomes, but at the cost of vitality, strength, metabolic health, and quality of life.

    Dr. Stephen walks through the physiology and why that trade-off weakens muscle, bone, cognition, libido, and cardiovascular health without directly targeting cancer. Lowering PSA or testosterone is not the same as improving longevity or fighting disease effectively.

    Prostate cancer is often slow-moving, and not every intervention improves outcomes. Preserving metabolic health, maintaining strength, and supporting the body’s resilience may matter more than aggressive hormone suppression.

    If longevity, clarity, and informed decision-making matter to you, spend time with this episode. Press play now: Estrogen for Prostate Cancer? New Study Misses the Real Problem.

  • Stop Saying Yes to Your Doctor: The Medical Tests You Should Be Refusing
    Mar 26 2026

    Better health decisions often start with a simple habit: pause, ask questions, and understand why something is being recommended.

    In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti talks through the reality behind many routine medical tests, what they’re meant to do, and where they may fall short. He explains how screenings like digital rectal exams, routine EKGs, bone density scans, and certain cancer tests are sometimes driven more by habit, system pressure, or liability than clear patient benefit.

    Dr. Stephen offers a grounded way to think about it. If a result won’t influence treatment, it’s reasonable to pause and ask why it’s being done. That kind of conversation is responsible, informed care.

    The bigger message is simple and practical. Long-term health is built through consistent habits. Screening still has value, but it should fit the individual, not a default checklist.

    If you care about longevity and making smarter, more intentional health decisions, spend a few minutes with this episode. Tune in now: Stop Saying Yes to Your Doctor: The Medical Tests You Should Be Refusing.

  • Prostate Cancer Warning Signs Most Men Ignore | Biopsies & Early Detection
    Mar 17 2026

    Better health begins with awareness. The body often whispers long before disease speaks loudly.

    In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti explains why many prostate cancer discussions focus too heavily on procedures while ignoring the body’s early signals. He critiques tests such as ConfirmMDx, which require a prostate biopsy to perform, and urges men to question how a test result will actually change medical decisions before agreeing to it.

    Dr. Stephen also outlines subtle warning signs that many men dismiss. Frequent cold sores, shingles outbreaks, unexplained fatigue, chronic inflammation, persistent muscle aches, digestive disruption, and ongoing skin irritation may all reflect immune system stress. These signals do not prove cancer, but they can indicate a body under strain.

    Press play, take notes, and share this episode of Prostate Cancer Warning Signs Most Men Ignore | Biopsies & Early Detection with the men in your life who deserve better information about their health.

  • Ivermectin and Fenbendazole for Prostate Cancer: The Conversation No One Is Having
    Mar 10 2026

    Real progress in medicine comes from asking better questions and prostate cancer care deserves that kind of thinking.

    In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti examines the growing interest in ivermectin, fenbendazole, and the human-approved counterpart mebendazole. He explains how these drugs gained attention and why laboratory findings in cells or animals do not automatically translate into reliable human outcomes.

    Dr. Stephen also addresses the dangers of self-treatment fueled by internet claims. High-dose ivermectin protocols promoted online carry real risks, including neurological complications and liver injury. Within his Repurposed Drug Therapy protocol, these medications may play a limited, carefully monitored role alongside metabolic optimization, lifestyle changes, and clinical oversight.

    For men who want both innovation and safety, this episode brings clarity to a topic filled with noise. Watch this episode of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole for Prostate Cancer: The Conversation No One Is Having.

Portion control, feeding timing, insulin sensitivity, hemoglobin A1C, triglycerides, and visceral fat all matter. He explains why structured eating patterns, net carbohydrate awareness, and metabolic control often outweigh trendy diet labels.

    Dr. Stephen also addresses high-risk dietary exposures that many overlook: processed meats and nitrites, sodium benzoate, artificial sweeteners and weight gain signals, petroleum-based food dyes, and chronic high-sugar intake in insulin-resistant individuals.Instead of extreme restriction, he advocates strategic elimination of the biggest carcinogenic inputs while preserving quality of life.

  • Colon Cancer Under 50: Putting the James Van Der Beek Headlines into Perspective
    Feb 19 2026

    Rising cases of colon cancer under 50 deserve attention, yet they also require proportion, data, and disciplined thinking.

    In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti places early-onset colon cancer into context. While media coverage amplifies concern, individual risk for most people under 50 remains relatively low. He explains how decades of metabolic dysfunction, excess body fat, chronic inflammation, immune decline, and environmental exposure drive cancer development.

    Dr. Stephen outlines practical prevention strategies that matter more than panic: optimize vitamin D, control body composition, reduce processed meats and nitrites, limit toxic additives, protect gut health, and use intelligent screening tools such as stool-based testing when appropriate. Colonoscopy is examined through a risk–benefit lens not rejected, but not blindly accepted.

    For those who value longevity, proactive healthcare, and evidence-based prevention, this episode reframes the conversation. Tune in to here: Colon Cancer Under 50: Putting the James Van Der Beek Headlines into Perspective.
