The Hidden Cost of Androgen Deprivation Therapy

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.

Prostate Biopsies: The Hidden Risk No One Told You About

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.

Learn how to protect your health without sacrificing your well‑being. Tune in to the episode of Prostate Biopsies: The Hidden Risk No One Told You About.

PSA Rising? Ask These 3 Questions

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.

The Surprising Truth About Prostate Cancer and Mortality

Prostate cancer may sound daunting, but the reality around its mortality risk can be surprisingly different from what most believe. 

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti takes a bold stance against the one-size-fits-all approach to prostate cancer treatment. Referencing pivotal studies like the Pivot and ProtecT trials, he shows that conventional treatments such as prostate removal, radiation, and biopsies often fail to improve longevity and in some cases, may cause more harm than good. 

The real threats to life? Heart disease, infections, and even treatment-induced complications.

Dr. Stephen invites listeners to question the status quo and broaden their perspective. He offers strategic alternatives, including lifestyle changes and a focus on overall health, rather than just the prostate.

When Is Castration Worth Doing?

Facing a rising PSA can be unsettling. But is early castration really the answer? 

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti walks through the harsh truth about androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), commonly known as medical castration. While often prescribed when PSA levels rise, he cautions that this drastic intervention is not without cost: loss of libido, cognitive decline, bone fractures, cardiovascular risks, and more. 

Instead of rushing into ADT at the first sign of trouble, Dr. Stephen urges a symptom-driven approach. He blends evidence, philosophy, and real-world experience to help men make smarter, more humane decisions at the edge of life and medicine.

Ready to take control of your health decisions? Rethink what real prostate cancer care can look like. Tune in now: When Is Castration Worth Doing?
