Dr. Jack Rocco on Adoption, Men’s Health, and the Power of Self-Discovery

In this episode of REJUVENAGING with Dr. Ron Kaiser, Dr. Ron sits down with orthopedic surgeon and author Dr. Jack Rocco, whose compelling journey spans decades of medical service and a deep personal exploration into his own adoption story. Dr. jack, adopted at birth, opens up about discovering his mixed-race heritage and how writing his memoir, Recycled: A Reluctant Search for True Self Through Nurture, Nature, and Free Will, gave him clarity on identity, family secrets, and self-acceptance. His story reveals the emotional complexities of closed adoptions and the personal transformations that come from uncovering long-held truths. Beyond his medical career, Dr. Jack discusses how these life revelations inspired him to shift focus and recently open The Ultimate Men’s Clinic in Massachusetts. Through this new venture, he aims to address the often-overlooked health needs of men—offering holistic services that span orthopedics, metabolic health, and mental wellness in an environment where men can feel comfortable discussing their vulnerabilities. Together, Dr. Ron and Dr. Jack explore themes of identity, free will, and aging with purpose. They reflect on how midlife challenges, personal crises, and even a pandemic can become catalysts for reinvention. This powerful and thought-provoking conversation offers a fresh perspective on living authentically, embracing change, and supporting others through life’s transitions.
