Join Berto, a Colorado-based cancer survivor and outdoor enthusiast, as he shares his journey of healing, hope, and adventure
Berto's journey began with a life-changing diagnosis: stage 4b prostate cancer that had spread to his spine. Determined to fight back, Berto combined western medicine with integrative wellness—embracing a new diet, regular exercise, and meditation. Through resilience and the support of loved ones, he achieved full remission and discovered a renewed sense of purpose in the process.
Now cancer-free, Berto is sharing his story on "Wandering with Berto," with the hope of inspiring others to find hope and strength in the outdoors. The Wandering with Berto channel documents scenic hikes, practical tips, and the healing power of nature, encouraging viewers to live actively, mindfully, and support one another through life’s toughest challenges.
In this episode, Berto takes on the challenging Pancake Rocks Trail and shares the critical, early-stage story that led to his Stage 4B prostate cancer diagnosis. This is the day the trail changed: from an initial misdiagnosis and a "hunky-dory" PSA result of 3.3, to the necessary steps (MRI, biopsy, and PSMA PET scan) that finally revealed a Gleason 4+3 and metastasis to the bone.
Hit the trails safely with Berto's comprehensive guide to essential hiking gear, covering everything from footwear and the crucial layering system to trekking poles and using smartwatches and apps like AllTrails to manage your energy on the trail. This is your essential checklist for getting geared up and safely conquering your next outdoor adventure, especially while maintaining health during treatment.
