Prostate Health: Your Diet Matters? (BPH-2024)

Is it possible that your diet could be leading to BPH (enlargement of the prostate) and all the symptoms that go with it? Why yes, yes it is. By eating a proper human diet you can prevent prostate problems in the future, or begin to reverse existing problems.
The prostate gland is very hormone-sensitive, and one of the hormones which can affect it is insulin. Eating the wrong diet and have a negative effect on your insulin level, which can cause problems with the prostate. This information is not taught in school, or known by most doctors, but could really impact your life.
Enlarged prostate symptoms include trouble urinating, frequent night-time urination, urinary blockage, and impotence. These symptoms can be prevented or improved by fixing your diet. I'm sharing this info with you because you need it, you can share it with others if you like.

Question for Dr. Berry. My husband was diagnosed with stage four, Gleason 8 prostate cancer last June 2023. It had metastasized to the bones. He went on the Lupron injections, did radiation and, went on the carnivore diet. December 2024, my husband had a full PET scan and the results came back NED (no evidence of disease). We’ve been told by some doctors that the carnivore diet is the worst diet for prostate cancer. They said that even though this diet can be a good approach for the majority of cancers out there, prostate cancer is not one of them. I look forward to hearing your professional input. As of today, my husband stopped the injections in March and, is on the carnivore diet. We get his PSA level checked once a month to make sure it is where is should be. My husband and I are both on the carnivore diet and agree that it is life-changing in so many positive ways!! My only concern is that I do not want my him to have any setbacks. Big hug 🤗

I'm 39 now, issues started when I was 37. I went to a series of doctors, most recently with urologist, and including a CT scan. (Sitting at around $3500, for mostly no help) Started with some dribbles and more than usual nightly pees, and went all they way to not even being able to pee. They started me on antibiotics, which seemingly just ruined my insides, then moved me to Flomax. Flomax helps but makes me very dizzy, and caused me to shoot blanks. What has helped the most is watching how and where I sit. I also play drums, and I think my original drum throne did a lot to antagonize my issues. I mentioned the sitting and the drumming to the doctors and they completely ignored me. The only person who thought there may be something with the sitting was a nurse, as she said that some bike riders have these issues too. Of course the did not say shit about diet and exercise. There could be something to the grain and sugar eating, as I do not eat that stuff much, though I do occasionally. Usually it's just a sandwich here or there, or most recently some wraps. I do eat about two apples a day, and some honey with my coffee. So I will have to go even further with those experiments, and be even more mindful of what I eat. It seems that doing squats and stuff that that helps too. This has been a major bummer. I'm not even 40, and right when I was just starting to get good a the drums, this fucking happened. Same deal with guitar, and my hands. Life is suffering LOL, but that make for the best music. Thanks for this, not sure if anyone pays attention, but I should report back with my findings. (Going back to the urologist next week, and may just see about lasering that bastard out of there, though I would be more than accepting of someone telling me that that is a bad idea.)

Thank you Dr. Berry for all the information and support. I am a retired anesthesiologist and now have time to read and study health. It is apparent that medical education and training have fallen way short and have been very detrimental to health. It does not get to the cause of disease. I have been keto for around 8 years and it is the way to go from all my research. Also HFLC and carnivore are fine. I do follow Joe Mercola on occasion since he does do some great interviews and has contributed much. However I have yet to find any data that shows being in ketosis all the time is not good. He does espouse this but has no backup. What did humans do doing the ice age! I had also contacted Nora Gedgaudas and she has never come across any literature that states chronic ketosis is harmful.

Blood pressure was still regularly “high.” After 3 months strict keto, I was able to stop taking Doxazosin. One month after that, I was able to stop taking Lisinopril. I self monitor daily. Now always in the normal range and no urinary issues.

You’re right dr Barry, the ketogenic diet also lowers markers of inflammation including the PSA. Mine had been creeping up for the last 6 years while eating SAD, both my primary care physician and 2 different urologists said I needed a biopsy because my PSA was high (6.75). I started a ketogenic diet in March and in July when I got my physical my PSA had dropped to 5.25! My urologists screamed at me there was no way you could lower the PSA! I refused to get the biopsy! Now I’m so glad I refused, so many stories about the invasive procedure actually causing more harm than good! I can’t wait for my next test in January!

If you have an open mind, I can tell you how to fix erectile dysfunction most of the time. It may sound silly, but it works for me. Ready? Don't laugh. I am not lying. I'm being honest. Switch to a carnivore diet. That's right. Eat mostly fatty meats. I did that, and it completely went away. You have to get the sugar, carbohydrates, vegetable oils and processed foods out of your diet. This is exactly how our ancestors ate. They ate mostly meat, and when they could not find meat, they would eat vegetables. But just eat tons of fatty meats, like ribeye and New York steak, fish, pork, eggs, bacon, sausage, a little bit of cheese, maybe some chicken. Chicken is not ideal because it has a low fat content. Just eat fatty meat, and there is an excellent chance you can improve your erectile dysfunction. It worked for me. Not a joke.

I am a naturopath. I reference, and share with patients Dr. Barry’s videos. They are easily understood for common people as well as short enough to keep peoples attention Something that I find an issue of late is - Basically, I’m finding there’s no point in watching the videos because the common denominator, and every single video is ketogenic diet and high insulin, no matter what it is. If it’s high blood pressure, prostate, thyroid , acne, , etcccc , no matter what it is -every single video is the same cause - and lecture regarding insulin / keto. Basically, according to these videos every single, solitary illness and disease has this as its root cause. I agree, that this is probably the most common root cause. Although, could we have better content as far as other suggestions and lifestyle, supplementation, herbs, etc. many people are adjusting their diets and eliminating processed foods, oils, carbohydrates, and continue to have issues.

Horses also suffer from high insulin when the grass they eat is stressed and freshly recovering from drought or dry weather and gets full of simple sugars. Their insulin spikes for weeks on end when the rains first arrive and the grass goes manic green with sugar, they also have trouble peeing! I'm talking mostly about older geldings that were castrated in their first year or two of life. So the poor things have been serve up a double whammy of bad stuff, too much insulin and not enough testosterone! No wonder they have trouble peeing when the grass goes green! Unfortunately there is no help for them because male veterinarians fail to see the connection. Only female vets seem to be able to make the connection. I wonder if the same failure occurs in the human population too? There are other terrible things that many male physicians impose on their male patients also.

[@Ragdillian]

do you mean not enough testosterone is the issue??

[@jacko2019]

Tania Cox He found the doctors give older men drugs to reduce testosterone levels figuring that higher levels is what causes cancer, if that were true than we should have an epidemic of cancer for teen males. He found studies showing older men with higher levels are less likely to get cancer. He also found studies that dairy in males could be the culprit for enlarged prostate problems. Thus increasing risk of cancer

Dr Eric Berg MD at the end of one of his videos somewhere, also advised that too much dairy in a lazy persons 'dirty' Keto diet can slow up a guy's flow-rate and look like a prostate issue when it is not. More variety in the good fats included in the Keto plan needed, and back off the dairy a bit.

Hello! I know someone who has elevated PSA #. I told them to try carnivore as i believe it's the proper human healing diet. They actually reduced their meat intake (I think even stopped eating meat) & focused on vegetables & Psa levels have dropped. Here is a question they asked: " I'm wondering if any attention has been paid to this diet and its effect on The prostate? We do know that a high PSA number can be reduced by eating vegetables mostly. My concern at this age (almost 78) is not so much a long life as the quality of life." The person I'm referring to is a family member who is conscious of healthy eating (in other words not on a standard american diet. They hunt so thier meat intake includes wild game & they exercise regularly, stress levels are high though). They have reintroduced meat b/c of my encouragment & your videos, but still leary since eating vegetables lowered psa #'s. Plz explain this & help me provide the info they need to make the switch to carnivore. Thx so much!

You Mentioned bioidentical hormone optimization therapy. Is there a reason this is recommended over hormone therapy? Are there psychological side effects of taking either of these, meaning for example: a man has an enlarged prostate. He's doing the ketovore, perhaps even the saw palmetto & is trying to increase his testosterone naturally. Let's say he started exercising as well, Elliptical machine & light weights, but he's thinking to boost his hormone while doing this. When he stops taking either the bioidentical hormone optimization therapy or the regular hormone therapy, will that cause upheaval?

[@peterjensen7533]

An alternative way to understand why the prostate enlarges with age, is to imagine that the concentration of DHT in the prostate increases despite the production of DHT decreases: The prostate converts testosterone into DHT, so the concentration of this hormone within the prostate is exponentially higher than in the blood and with decreased blood flow, the DHT level in the prostate in an old man might be higher than in a young. A consideration like this can also explain why exogenous androgens usually can raise the serum DHT level without having side effects on the prostate: What matters for the prostate is the dispersion factor. If the prostate is not effectively permeated with blood, it's likely to enlarge. On the oher hand, with an effective permeation, even blood with exogenous androgens will help the prostate to curb its level of DHT.

I'm a patron, watch ever video, and tell family, friends, and neighbors about those videos that could apply to them. Thanks for the great work. I've searched your videos but can't find anything that addresses muscle cramps, especially leg cramps. As a healthy mature (68) man. In the past few months I switched to a no sugar / low carb / high fat / high protein diet and daily eighteen hour intermittent fasting with butter coffee to replace breakfast. Though my belly fat is gone and I have more energy, I still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with painful large muscle cramps. Worse, those same muscles often battle for attention with oncoming cramping when my focus should be elsewhere while reaching the apex of sexual activity. Now that's just adding insult to injury! I'd appreciate you addressing muscle cramps. Thanks for all you do.

The keto diet reduces insulin levels. Insulin tells your kidneys to hold on to water and salt. I don't want to play Doctor on the internet, but it sounds like you need more salt, and I don't mean just a little more from the shaker. If you are a large person or work out with intensity, you may have noticed you sweat more with the keto diet. An active person on the keto diet may need as much as 6 grams of sodium per day. That would be 2-3 teaspoons of salt, as sodium is only 40 % of salt by weight. You might try putting a teaspoon of salt into a large glass of water and drinking it. If it taste wonderful, you probably needed the salt. I am pushing 67, and began feeling bad on the keto diet and I ended up drinking 3 large glasses of salt water and felt a lot better in about an hour. I began making more of an effort to eat more salt, but once in a while I do the salt water if I have leg cramps or begin to lose energy. Be aware that a salt bolus like that can act as a laxative if you are not salt depleted. You can also lose potassium and magnesium due to the keto diet. NuSalt of Lite Salt is half sodium chloride, and half potassium chloride. Using one of those or eating cream of tartar which has potassium in it once in a while might help also. I record my blood pressure readings daily, and have noticed no increase when it take large amounts of salt. Try a glass of salt water before bed time as see how you do. Getting a blood panel done should confirm if you are low on sodium and chloride, but taking more salt and seeing if that fixes the problem is a lot easier. YMMV

[@TrumblebeeMom]

Tadalafil Sildanafil and other ED medications are also ordered for BPH. it was found the inner part of the prostate softens a bit allowing less pressure on the pee canal. Because you have to have them in small doses in your blood stream all the time the idea of 5ml everyday of Tadalafil for ED apply here the best as well. This works for some though not for all.
