Book Review: The Chronic Prostatitis 360 Protocol

Reviewed by John M. Murray

A comprehensive, patient-driven roadmap combining diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes to reclaim life from chronic prostatitis

The Chronic Prostatitis 360 Protocol offers an integrative alternative to treating chronic prostatitis, which is when a person has persistent inflammation of their prostrate gland.

A long-time sufferer himself, Potasiak frames the book’s goal as assembling the most rigorous, peer-reviewed evidence into a single, step-by-step program. He begins by differentiating prostatitis subtypes and pelvic floor dysfunction, then walking readers through a four-step diagnostic battery (symptom diaries, validated questionnaires) to confirm true chronic prostatitis before laying out potential treatment options.

The guide is broken down into three parts with the first being focused on the process of getting started. This covers the diagnosis process, navigating the healthcare system, and conventional treatments. The second part provides the most actionable elements of the guide—those that can be started on almost immediately. As Potasiak states, “Take action, control, and responsibility for your condition.” He covers diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes that anyone can begin to adjust to provide relief—not immediately but over time as the changes become a new routine. The final part covers advanced treatments and potential future changes to the protocol.

While Potasiak is not a medical professional, he backs up the material with an extensive evidence-driven framework. Footnotes to studies and other research supplement every recommendation—a staggering 200 citations over the entire book. Potasiak also provides a patient-centered voice throughout by returning to his own journey into remission. The steps he took, the mistakes he made, and the lessons he gleaned in the hopes of helping fellow sufferers.

A recurring aspect of the guide is practical and actionable advice. Checklists, pain scales, self-surveys and more provide a means to gauge if the protocol is helping or not—and how to adjust as time goes on. The holistic approach that combines diet, supplements, lifestyle changes, and medical supervision acknowledges that there is no one single treatment and sufferers will have to tailor the protocol to find relief.

The heavy analysis and emphasis on research make the guide feel overwhelming at times. Much of the information is presented in a concise action plan, but too much of the guide focuses on relentless scientific detail. It can also feel overwhelming simply from how long you may still have to wait—the guide suggests a year—before relief can be found.

This patient-empowering guide is a successful amalgamation of scientific study and personal experience. The condition is often overlooked, downplayed, or mismanaged and the book lays out a professional and authoritative guide for men suffering from the condition. The strategies provided offer genuine hope with Potasiak eagerly providing information and suggestions on how to limit and reduce pain. Those willing to invest time and diligence to the protocol—alongside medical treatment—can find a practical roadmap to managing chronic prostatitis to lead a more comfortable life.
