Make Your Body Less Friendly to Cancer: What to Eat, How to Exercise, and What Actually Matters
<p>What can you do every day to support your health after a prostate cancer diagnosis without allowing cancer to take over your life?This week on Intellectual Medicine, Dr. Stephen Petteruti outlines five lifestyle areas he believes deserve attention when thinking about prostate health, immune function, and long-term vitality. He begins with nutrition and protein intake, including his approach to complete proteins and intermittent fasting, before turning to sleep and why he believes obsessing over eight hours or relying too heavily on sleep trackers can become counterproductive.Dr. Petteruti also discusses walking and exercise intensity, supplements including vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C, and copper, and why more antioxidants are not necessarily better. He finishes with perhaps the most unexpected strategy: making room for pleasure and enjoyment.Rather than constantly worrying about cancer or chasing every new intervention, Dr. Petteruti encourages building sustainable habits, focusing on vitality, and continuing to live fully.Timestamps:(00:00) Five ways to make your body less friendly to prostate cancer(00:34) Why your health strategy needs to stay simple(01:28) Aging, immune function and cancer risk(03:19) Protein, nutrition and supporting immune function(04:59) Does intermittent fasting matter for cancer?(06:38) Sleep: why eight hours isn't a magic number(07:47) Walking, exercise and prostate health(09:27) Why supplements come after the basics(10:03) The antioxidant paradox: can you have too much?(12:16) Vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C and copper(14:10) The unexpected fifth strategy: fun and pleasure(15:59) Living fully without being controlled by fearReferences:Anti-inflammatory Therapy with Canakinumab for Atherosclerotic Disease- https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1707914?referer=https://www.google.com/&Chapter 15 - Exercise, Immunity, and Illness-https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/chapter/edited-volume/pii/B9780128145937000153The immune hunger games: the effects of fasting on monocytes-https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10541887/Enjoy the podcast?

He Refused Surgery. One Year Later, Doctors Couldn't Explain the MRI
<p>What happens when a man diagnosed with prostate cancer decides not to undergo surgery or radiation?In this episode of the Intellectual Medicine podcast, Dr. Stephen Petteruti shares the true story of a 51-year-old patient diagnosed with biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer who chose a different path. After years of active surveillance, repeated MRIs, and multiple biopsies, the patient sought an alternative approach designed to monitor his cancer without additional biopsies while focusing on preserving his health and quality of life.Dr. Petteruti explains the rationale behind his non-biopsy monitoring protocol, which combines advanced imaging, lifestyle modification, nutritional strategies, and carefully selected repurposed medications. He discusses how the patient's MRI findings improved dramatically over time and why those results should be interpreted cautiously rather than viewed as evidence of a cure.Throughout the episode, Dr. Petteruti also explores the limitations of PSA testing, the role of PSMA PET imaging, and the importance of understanding all available treatment options before making life-changing decisions. Prostate cancer management should aim not only to control the disease but also to preserve vitality, function, and quality of life.Timestamps(00:00) Diagnosed with prostate cancer at age 51(01:15) Active surveillance and the burden of repeated biopsies(02:40) Introducing a non-biopsy monitoring approach(04:10) Building a protocol: repurposed drugs, lifestyle, and nutrition(05:45) MRI changes from PI-RADS 4 to PI-RADS 1(07:00) Why this is not evidence of a cure(07:45) PSMA PET scan: looking beyond the prostate(08:25) Why PSA alone doesn't tell the whole story(09:20) Preserving vitality while managing prostate cancer(10:25) Why patients deserve more than two treatment optionsEnjoy the podcast?

Fauci Pleaded the Fifth (111 Times!)... Medicine Still Hasn’t Learned Its Lesson
<p>Should patients always trust the experts, or should they ask more questions?This week on the Intellectual Medicine podcast, Dr. Stephen Petteruti reflects on the broader lessons that medicine can learn from the COVID-19 era. Using recent headlines surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci as a starting point, he explores larger questions about medical authority, patient autonomy, and the role of healthy skepticism in healthcare.Dr. Petteruti discusses how uncertainty is an unavoidable part of medicine and argues that clinicians should acknowledge the limits of what they know while empowering patients to participate in important healthcare decisions. He also examines how institutional dogma, fear, and emotional pressure can influence decision-making, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing evidence from opinion.Drawing parallels between pandemic policies and other areas of medicine, including prostate cancer care, Dr. Petteruti explains how prioritizing a single outcome can sometimes compromise a patient’s overall health and quality of life. He concludes by encouraging informed patients to ask thoughtful questions, seek reliable evidence, and take an active role in decisions about their care.Timestamps(00:00) The cost of losing personal freedom during the pandemic(00:45) Who should make healthcare decisions?(02:25) Dogma, certainty, and the limits of medical expertise(03:00) Why patients should remain in control of their medical choices(05:00) The dangers of emotional coercion in healthcare(06:35) Healthy skepticism versus cynicism(08:35) Why medicine must treat the whole patient, not just one problem(10:30) What the COVID era can still teach modern medicine(11:50) A final message: ask good questions and verify what you're toldEnjoy the podcast?
