Best Diet for Prostate Cancer | What Actually Matters for Cancer Progression #prostatecancer

Does nutrition really affect prostate cancer, PSA levels, and long-term survival? Many men are told to "eat healthier," but few are given a clear explanation of what that actually means. In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti lays out a practical, data-driven framework for prostate cancer nutrition, cancer progression, metabolic health, PSA management, and longevity medicine. Portion control, feeding timing, insulin sensitivity, hemoglobin A1C, triglycerides, and visceral fat all matter. He explains why structured eating patterns, awareness of net carbohydrate, 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 restrictions, he advocates the strategic elimination of the largest carcinogenic inputs while preserving quality of life.
