About the author
Stephen Petteruti
3 books4 followersMy work as a practicing physician has been focused on enhancing human vitality by targeting health at a cellular level. My interest is in combining the best of conventional medicine, with advances in cellular biology to deliver novel approaches to address core issues that corrode health and accelerate aging.
My research is in the tradition of other actively practicing clinicians. It can best be described as observation of the real world outcomes of the treatments that I render. By carefully documenting results, I am able to gather evidence regarding the impact of the treatment approaches that I design.
My 30 year career as a family doctor has enabled me to identify the greatest concerns and objectives of the patients I serve. My intellectual curiosity has helped me to research approaches to help address unsolved problems.
“The patients tell us what they need—and what they need is to feel better, live longer, and live better. That’s the passion that drives my practice.” It’s this sort of empathy that has won Petteruti both the Patients’ Choice Award ten times and the Compassionate Doctor Recognition Award nine times in the past decade.

I received an ARC of Fight Cancer Like a Man: Smarter Strategies for Prostate Health and Vitality by Dr. Stephen Petteruti, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. It’s more than a book, it’s a wake-up call and a roadmap for men facing one of the most important health decisions of their lives.
If you’ve been told you have an elevated PSA, a suspicious MRI, or early-stage prostate cancer, you’re at a critical crossroads. For decades, men have been pushed toward aggressive and often unnecessary treatments that can lead to devastating consequences like impotence, incontinence, and loss of vitality. Dr. Petteruti challenges that outdated approach with clarity, compassion, and science.
Drawing from over 30 years of experience in functional medicine, he introduces the Petteruti Protocol, a comprehensive, evidence-based strategy that emphasizes informed decision-making, lifestyle optimization, and targeted medical support. Through this book, readers learn:
*The crucial questions to ask and how to advocate for your own health
*Proven diet, exercise, and lifestyle strategies that strengthen the body’s natural defenses
*The truth about prostate biopsies, surgeries, and radiation, and when to think twice
*The role of medications and supplements that genuinely support prostate health
Dr. Petteruti’s approach is practical, empowering, and deeply respectful of the men he serves. He doesn’t dismiss conventional medicine; he reframes it, showing that smarter strategies lead to better outcomes and higher quality of life.
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with prostate cancer or even has early warning signs, Fight Cancer Like a Man is essential reading. It replaces fear with knowledge, confusion with clarity, and helplessness with strength.
I will be buying several copies for the men in my life that could benefit from this knowledge. Thank you Dr. Petteruti

Fight Cancer Like a Man offers a perspective that is both challenging and empowering for anyone facing a prostate cancer diagnosis. Rather than approaching the subject from a place of fear, the book encourages readers to slow down, ask questions, and take an active role in understanding their options.
Dr. Stephen Petteruti presents an approach centered on long-term health, careful monitoring, and preservation of vitality. He explains complex medical concepts in a way that is accessible, while also emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility, informed decision-making, and maintaining quality of life.
What makes this book stand out is its focus on giving men a sense of control during a time that often feels overwhelming. It is not simply about disease. It is about how to think, how to evaluate choices, and how to move forward deliberately.
A thought-provoking read for patients, families, and anyone interested in a broader conversation about prostate health and modern medical decision-making.

I found Dr. Petteruti’s book, and Fight Cancer Like a Man is the first piece of medical literature I’ve read that treats me like a person, not just a patient. Dr. Petteruti breaks down the 'Petteruti Protocol' in a way that is scientifically rigorous but easy to understand. He explains why we don’t have to rush into life-altering procedures and how things like repurposed medications, hormone optimization, and lifestyle shifts can actually let you fight the disease while keeping your quality of life intact.
This book gave me the questions I needed to ask my own doctors and, more importantly, the confidence to stop making decisions based on panic. If you’ve been told you have an elevated PSA or a suspicious MRI, do not do anything until you read this. It is a literal life-saver for your health and your dignity.
