Colonoscopy is examined through a risk–benefit lens not rejected, but not blindly accepted.

    Stop the Prostate Biopsy Frenzy: The Truth About MRI, PI-RADS, and PSA| Dr. Stephen Petteruti #prostatecancer

    PSA spikes, abnormal MRI results, and high PI-RADS scores often trigger immediate fear and for many men, that fear leads straight to biopsy.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti breaks down what PSA actually measures, how MRI technology fits into modern prostate cancer management, and why a high PI-RADS score does not automatically equal aggressive disease. Dr. Stephen discusses active surveillance, non-biopsy monitoring strategies, cardiovascular risk, hormone balance, and why overtreatment may compromise quality of life more than the cancer itself.   For men who value proactive healthcare, evidence-based medicine, testosterone preservation, and long-term vitality, this conversation offers clarity in a space dominated by urgency and assumption. It reframes prostate cancer care around informed consent, individualized risk assessment, and protecting both lifespan and healthspan. Before agreeing to your next scan or biopsy, press pause.

    Prostate Cancer Didn’t Kill Testosterone. Doctors Did. | Dr. Stephen Petteruti #prostatecancer

    A diagnosis should never strip a man of strength, vitality, or hope but rather push medicine to think deeper, not narrower.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti challenges one of the most deeply rooted assumptions in prostate cancer care that testosterone is the enemy. He breaks down low testosterone is often linked to worse outcomes, androgen deprivation can accelerate decline, and emerging data suggests that carefully applied testosterone therapy may disrupt cancer progression while restoring quality of life. Dr. Stephen walks through the science behind bipolar androgen therapy, PSA misconceptions, and the real-world consequences of long-term hormone suppression. Helping men understand trade-offs, ask better questions, and make decisions based on lived experience rather than fear-driven protocols. Listen closely, reflect deeply, and decide how you want to live moving forward. Watch the episode of Prostate Cancer Didn’t Kill Testosterone. Doctors Did. Enjoy the podcast?

    The Tests Men With Prostate Cancer Should Question First | Dr. Stephen Petteruti

    Longevity improves when health decisions are guided by clarity rather than hype.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti breaks down the most common anti-aging tests and scans that promise insight but often deliver unnecessary risk, cost, or confusion. He explains why DEXA scans, biological aging blood tests, whole-body MRIs, VO2 max testing, and mass-market screening programs frequently miss what actually predicts lifespan and vitality. Instead, Dr. Petteruti highlights practical, evidence-based measures that matter more—muscle mass, grip strength, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk assessment, and targeted imaging when appropriate. He also addresses supplement marketing, peptide misuse, and genetic testing claims that distract from real cellular health and functional aging. Focus on strategies that support strength, cognition, and resilience over the long term. Watch the episode of Longevity Myths Exposed: The Anti-Aging Tests and Scans You Should Avoid.
