Dr. Robert Caruso
What if an enlarged prostate didn’t have to mean surgery, catheters, and a long recovery? In this episode, Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Robert Caruso, board-certified urologist and surgeon at RWJ Barnabas Health, to discuss modern BPH treatments that combine medical precision with a holistic mindset. From vapor therapy to lifestyle changes, learn what really restores a man’s comfort, sleep, and confidence.
Episode Summary:
Dr. Geo and Dr. Caruso go beyond “just the prostate” to explain why urinary symptoms can stem from your spine, sleep, metabolism, and lifestyle—not only gland size. You’ll hear how Dr. Caruso’s Italian “blue zone” roots and 98-year-old mother inspired his whole-body approach to men’s health. They cover everything from tadalafil’s triple benefit (for BPH, erections, and heart health) to when surgical options like bipolar TURP, UroLift, Rezūm, or iTind make sense.If you’re considering treatment for an enlarged prostate—or want to understand your options before surgery—this episode breaks it all down clearly.
