Shrink ENLARGED PROSTATE in 7 Easy Steps (2024 Update)

[@megadawg342]

I was scheduled for surgery 2 years ago. A month before surgery I ran into this video. It made sense and I committed to it. I was able to pull the catheter myself after one month. My urologist refused to do it. We had tried a trial without catheter a month or two earlier and it failed, I still had blood in my bladder(drinking too much alcohol) that was clogging my urethra. Cut out all the sugar all the alcohol as much of the carbohydrates as I could went full-on carnivore. I have fond memories of the ice cream brownies pies cakes....etc, that I would indulge in. Sugar in my coffee all day. Yep. Took 1 month of carnivore. Pulled the plumbing, pee like a race horse.

My husband died 10 weeks ago of prostate cancer, he was diagnosed at age 48! He died aged 62 and they said because he was healthy, never been overweight, never smoked and had normal insulin levels that’s why he lasted so long. He even did a 100 mile bike ride and went windsurfing in the middle of his chemo treatment 💪🏼 It also has to do with genes....his dad died of prostate cancer at 65.

This has been amazing so far. Six months ago, I had problems with urinary retention because of a huge prostate stopping the urinary flow. And my stream was extremely weak in general. I was on a terrible diet. Then, I started Keto, and about 4 months ago, I started intermittent fasting (I'm doing 14-16 hours). Now, six months later, my stream has increased by maybe 40-50%, I don't have retention anymore, and instead of getting up about 3-4 times/night, I only get up once, and I sleep so much better. All this has also led to a healthy weight loss: I have lost 40lbs in 6 months, and I am almost at a normal BMI. So, the bottom line is, I know for a fact from firsthand experience that Dr. Berry is correct. I have proof of it! Thank you very much, Dr. Berry, for your life-changing advice and for your channel, which is actually life-saving in so many ways!

How many grams was your prostate, mine is 110 grams, my PSA is 11.63 and I am not over weight . I cannot urinate must use a catheter and I don’t want to see a doctor again. I live in France, in a small town of less than 6000. Plus I have no more money and I am 70 years old. Thank you from my heart heart to yours , Michael ❤️🎶🙏

[@charliepitts2866]

@@MrJOHNMICHAELVEGA I don't know how much mine weighs, to be honest. My PSA fluctuates between 8 and 13, usually, but haven't checked it in about 6 months now. I could pee but sometimes had to double-void (empty as much as possible, wait 1/2 minute and try again). And sometimes, out of the blue, I got retention and had to go to the emergency room, until someone was kind enough to tell me I could self-catheter. Since then, I get free catheter samples from my urologist when needed. I haven't had retention in quite a while now, so I hope I won't have it again. I'm sorry about your condition. It's really a drag and very inconvenient. I take Flomax, which helps me, and Cialis, too, helps my condition. These in combination have helped me. But if you can't urinate at all, I doubt they will help. I am not a doctor, but it sounds like you need a surgery; something I would consider, if I were you, or discuss with a urologist. I know you don't have money for it unless you somehow can get help with that. If so, it's worth it! I would also do intermittent fasting, if I were you, if you're not already doing it, and go on a high fat Keto diet. That was what really helped me a lot! I wish you all the luck, and I know how difficult this is. Wish I could be of more help!

[@eddie195777]

Hi Dr. Berry, I watched your video about a month ago and then started the elimination diet of processed sugar and grains. Most of my life I've had a terrible diet and it's a miracle that I am not a diabetic. I had cleaned up my diet over the last 10 years, but still ate grains, sugar and fast food in moderation. Since completely cutting out the sugar & grains I've seen numerous positive effects. I'm listing the positives here. 1) better bowel movements, 2) I used to have a lot of nasal drainage, that is now all but gone, 3) more mental clarity/less brain fog, 4) Warmer body temperature, (used to be cold frequently, especially in the evenings, that has improved immensely, 5) I’ve lost 15 pounds in four weeks, without even trying. 6) Less cravings, 7) Skin has improved. I have Rosacea and that has improved. Note: The first week on the diet was not easy, I felt like I had the flu and my energy was low. Week two got better and so on. Thanks. PS: Blood markers: Fasting blood sugar, before 89, after week one, 82; fasting insulin, one year ago 5.6 uIU/mL to 3.6 after one week on diet; HA1C, from 5.6 two months ago, to 5.3 after week one. My CO2 levels dropped as well, it was on the high end previously. Thanks.

[@hunterzuker3891]

wow. I'm 66 and for me it's just been 2 weeks and I'm definitely seeing great improvement. I cut out the sugar and reduced carbs by around 90%, don't like soy and never ate low fat dairy. I was already doing intermittent fasting and have continued to do that 3 times a week (for 15 hours). Frequency of having to go is about half (sleep all through the night now) and the intensity that I need to go has gone back to normal. Stream strength not 100% all the time yet, but I have confidence that this too will return to normal soon. (I continued to exercise most every day as well). Thanks!

Another fellow says almost the same thing. He's big on a modified keto diet. He got my attention when he talked about nighttime bathroom visits, which was killing my sleep. I decided not to go keto, but to go in that direction. I reduced my sugar, grain, and starch down to very little. And just 3 nights later, no more getting up to go urinate. And 3 weeks later, ED was noticeably improved. After about 3 months, my belt went from its largest setting to its smallest. Most of my fat is gone. Other things are improving too. All these things are disappearing much faster than they came, even though none of it was instant. Thank you for the information in this video.

Thanks for this You Tube ! For 20 years I've had prostate symptoms, twice been catheterized because I could not urinate, had a PSA from 7-9, been biopsied and got an MRI. Then I watched your video. Boy was I motivated. In two weeks my life got so much easier. I'm happy to do without sweetened drinks, grains, candy and most fruits ( I tolerate ok low sugar fruits like cherries, raspberries and blueberries and apples ). I used to be up 3-5 times per night. Now it's 1-2. My life is no longer governed by bathroom breaks. And never once in 20 years of reading did anyone else mention the role of elevated insulin levels as a result of eating too many sugars and foods that convert to sugars. I thought that putting up with disabling prostate was just a part of life. It ain't so. I have you to thank for the change!

I dunno... without seeing this vid... about 6 months ago I started fasting, eating a keto diet, lifting weights, cut sugar, cut grains, no vegetable oil, sleeping more, etc... What did I notice... felt healthier... but developed an enlarged prostate after a few months. I really have massive doubts that diet has anything to do with it most of the time nowadays. There could be any number of causes. In my case, I think it's an immune system gone haywire problem that's causing inflammation (in more than one place). I suspect there are other things added to our environment... and I don't think it's accidental. I have evidence to suggest I'm right. Ulterior purposes at work here. I can't clarify due to youtube's algz.

I had stomach discomfort that lead to an ultrasound x-ray, to a enlarged prostate, fatty pancreas and a fatty liver was also detected. I reached the age now in my sixties where my prostate became enlarged. After a year, I got my first prostate biopsy and much to my surprise and horror, cancer was spotted in two areas. I am told even though it’s cancer, we’re leaving it for now for another test in six months. I was on my Keto journey trying to reverse a fatty liver and the ultrasound found my enlarged prostate. Now that my weight Loss and the fatty liver has been. reversed, I am left here wondering about my future with the newly found cancer. It’s an early type but even one cancer cell is too much for me. The idea of waiting for this to spread is horrible. I lost about seventy pounds and the most recent ultrasound revealed a very cleared up liver and my pancreas now. It’s a win but not with the cancer present now. I remain on Keto, low carb for now. I never had a cheat meal in fourteen months on my journey although now that I am cleaned up and down to about 148 pounds now, 5’8 hight I forgot how to eat like I used to. I have zero desire for wheat, high carbohydrates or sugar. Certainly not in any mood to drink liquor. I have some days when I’ll eat a little more but within in the parameters of the Ketogenic guild lines. I sometimes think it’s easier to fast than to actually eat. Eating triggers more of an appetite and it’s much more difficult to try to keep that down. When I came near my goal, weight loss was nearly impossible. I had to alternate day fast with just one eating window. While I am thankful for my success, and all that I learned I am dispirited over my prostate cancer and I just wish they would remove it all out of me. I was doubtful that I could get cancer because it doesn’t run in my family but it doesn’t work that way. In life, we win and we lose. I will always want to stay in Keto. I am so accustomed now. I just need to learn the right measure for remaining at my weight loss. No gaining anymore because I know where the fat will get stored and once is enough!

That's wild! Glad it worked for you. I started taking turmeric because it's anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory in general.

Cell replacement takes time.

I started following these recommendations at the beginning of January 2023. As I write this it's March 5, 2023. I haven't really noticed much of an effect on my urinary symptoms, but if it takes 12 months for this dietary approach to be effective I wasn't expecting much after two months. I'd like it if it got results after two months, but I wasn't expecting it. Where I have noticed results is in my weight. When I started I was at or approaching 260lbs. I'm now 225 and feel healthier in just about every way except I'm still peeing about once an hour. I'll just have to be patient and persistent about that. My poor bloated prostate, abused by years of assault by insulin and inflammatory seed oils, will need time to return itself to a healthy state.

By the third week of March - about two weeks after I posted the comment - I noticed my symptoms easing off a little. As we approach the middle of April 2023, at night I'm able to stay asleep 4-5 hours and during the day am currently having to pee every hour and a half to two hours. Which is still inconvenient, but I like that things are moving in the right direction.

[@Mark4Jesus]

@@dustermcclean2517 interested in your view if you can elaborate.

[@Struwwel2]

Time for another update. More than eight months in, that vile little organ remains a bit uncooperative. The improvement in symptoms I reported in April was short lived. Getting up to pee every 1.5 - 2.5 hrs has been the norm for most of the year. I'm not sure about time intervals during the day, because I need to keep my attention on the project at hand. I'll just say more often than I'd like. What has indisputably improved: My PSA is back down at a safe level, from 4s and 5s to about 2.5. I'm having a checkup next month and will be interested to see if the PSA remains that low. In March 2022, just before I underwent prostatic artery embolization (PAE), my prostate was 120ml. It's now a little over 90ml, although I don't know if that's due to the PAE procedure or the dietary changes. I don't seem to have problems with flow. I'm going to persist with the nutritional approach, because it has delivered other benefits (I'm now around 200 lbs, down from 260, and no longer pre-diabetic) The prostate is a temperamental organ that doesn't like its environment to change. It reacted aggressively when I reduced its blood flow (that's what PAE does), and it reacted aggressively when I reduced its supply of glucose. My guess is it pushed a couple lobes up into my bladder when the changes started. If so, perhaps they're in the process of hollowing out and will have to deflate sooner or later.

I spent the better part of a year in Ketosis using a no sugar, no carb diet while keeping my exercise regiment high (Weightlifting, Martial Arts Practice, Hiking, etc.). I can vouge for the fact that my urinary flow became easier during this period. Not to the levels of my youth but much higher volume with less restriction. However! I could not maintain MASS and went from a non overweight 180lbs to a bean pole 156lbs by the end. Even though I felt great and had great energy through most of that time I had to reintroduce carbohydrates to get my weight up and within 2 months or so my urine flow was as bad as it was before I started so, I'm hoping to refine the keto diet more so I can actually maintain mass without eating too many sugars or carbs.

You mentioned drinking more water... For me more water just makes me have to urinate more often. On a low carb low sugar diet I don't crave water much at all. When taking in carbs I tend to drink water all day. I'd gone through a 6month period of taking NAD+ supplements as well a couple years ago and that seemed to add to improved urine flow making me think my prostate was smaller then, but again after stopping everything reverts back and that tells me its all temporary, perhaps we are just decreasing some type of inflammation.

Dr Ken and fellow YT viewers. I just came across this video more or less out of curiosity and for the last four years I was struggling with an enlarged prostate between 7.2 to 7.5 On Any Given check up. Last year I decided to go completely vegetarian and also found out that I'm hyper glycemic. I completely modified my diet by out taking grains, carbohydrates and sugars. I'm also a swimmer and exercise on a regular basis 4 to 5 days a week. I also started fasting 2 to 3 days a week and significantly reduced the portions of my food. This past February I took another PSA blood test and my prostate is now down to 2.5. I couldn't believe it and I had him double check and it was an accurate reading. I told my urologist the dietary changes I had made. His comment eliminating sugar out of your diet I'll help on a lot of levels . He also said if you can reduce inflammation that will do nothing but help your prostate . Since February I've lost an additional 25 lb and only urinate once in the evening as opposed to two to three times a night like I used to. I can tell you what Dr. Ken is sharing in this video works , I'm living proof of it. It's even more interesting is that I've been doing everything he's talked about in this video and tonight I came across it for the first time and was blown away how accurate this information actually is. Feel free to reach out to me and ask questions, and yes I feel better than ever. Lastly, I just want to mention that going to a complete vegetarian vegan diet has been nothing but positive things for my life and for my health and well-being. I also do not consume any dairy, sugar or alcohol products whatsoever and if you're reading this, you obviously have some genuine interest in your own health. I hope what I've shared helps you and helps the viewers think twice about their diet and how they can improve their prostate health. Best to all of Gents!!!!!

Personal experience confirms what the doctor is saying: I've had a number of issues pop up around when I turned 53-54, prostrate problems being one of them, that went away when I changed my diet to low carb and employed intermittent fasting. More movement and exercise also works (weights not aerobics). No doctor recommended this because if it doesn't involve prescribing drugs most have no insight or answers: I had to research and initiate on my own; this channel has been helpful. This is my subjective experience and anecdotal but confirmed by the following: I've experienced a relapse and am now fighting an infection due to prostrate enlargement. Why? The lockdown has made it easier for me to cheat on my diet, less exercise and more inactivity due to gym closure, more sitting long hours at work, etc. Unintended consequences of this C19 fiasco.

Hi I am not a doctor but I have read that estrogen comes from testosterone. So the problem is the more testosterone - the more estrogen so too much estrogen to testosterone ratio still and that appears to be the problem. This is why I will not take testosterone replacement therapy. Instead I read where a aromatase inhibitor will prevent too much estrogen being created from testosterone. So it seems with aromatase inhibitor the testosterone will rise while the estrogen will go down and they will tend to balance. I had a very hard time trying to convince any doctor I need aromatase inhibitor. They insisted they don't treat that. Apparently most doctors don't know much about that subject at all. Apparently you need indocronologist for balancing hormones. Not many of those in area where I live so I gave up. Now looking to see what I can do on my own thru diet and fasting. Good luck.

there's a theory from china and europe that bph is due to prostatic cells swelling to try to glean iodine from the body (esp. after the age of 40-50). studies indicate that a few hundred micrograms to 5 miligrams of I2 iodine per day shrink the prostate considerably or prevent bph 99.99% of the time. in china, korea, japan, iceland, norway where iodine-rich seaweeds/kelp are routinely consumed (2-6 mgs net of total iodine/day), there are up to 5-12 times lower rates of bph, prostate cysts/stones, prostate cancer, and breast cancer/cysts (and other nodules, tumors, cysts). chinese/koreans/japanese also consume isoflavones-rich tofu and soy foods that are naturally inhibit dht. also, magnesium and recently astaxanthin have been shown, along with vit d, to prevent bph and prostate cancer. all the above are far far more effective than other micronutrients mentioned in the video and 100 times more effective than lycopene/beta-carotene which can actually turn pro-oxidant and have the opposite effect. [people should research and ask their doctors if iodine is ok for them. but in the nations listed above, higher iodine intake is part of their culture and diet.]

I'm 72, had an emlarged prostate for 10 years. I began keto one year ago. Four months after starting the diet, I went to a surgeon for hemheroid surgury. When he was examining the area of his future endeavors, he checked my prostate. He loudly proclaimed, "Your prostate is normal!" I'm sure he sees many elder men. I was that unusual. I'll take it. I then noticed that I pee like a young man again. I can hold urine for hours and hours without discomfort. I lost a dear friend to prostate cancer earlier this year. He was a marathon runner, ate vegitarian, occasional chicken, fish, and lots and lots of whole grains. I wish I knew about keto a couple/few years ago. It, as well as fasting, may have saved his life.

Ciao Dr. Berry, I have been following you, and sending my thanks to you monetarily for a while now. I have been on and off Keto and high carnivore also for a while( I recently sold my house in CT and returned to Italia, where I had lived for a number of years, being of Italian heritage, and being married to a Venetian woman). I have( had??) and enlarge prostate(120 grams) and a PSA score of 15!!! My urologist at the time was reasonable and first gave me a Liquid biopsy test. He was not satisfied with the results, so I did an MRI, still the results weren't clear, so we did a biopsy( 5 locations in the prostate) well final result, no cancer. I was taking a number of supplements, and of course alfonzionin ( spelling!!). Nothing really did anything, BTW I was also getting sand in my urine from a type of kidney stones, which I took an Italian herb for. The point being that I was not told that the PSA number is relative to the size of the prostate, so my number was not too far off, I was told this five minutes before the biopsy, and this urologist was a good guy, most go straight to the biopsy. in short, diet was never mentioned, nor insulin. Never was any cause for the enlargement discussed. It wasn't until your video that I began to understand the causality. ( I also listen to Dr. Sten Ekberg). Since I have been living in Umbria, I have been keeping an intermittent fasting and periodic 2 and 3 day fasts. Always high protein, some veggies, and pasta only as a treat. I have also cut my wine consumption to only weekends(maybe 2 glasses a day, Saturday/Sunday) one other thing I discovered from my research is that the prostate does not enlarge uniformly. My does not squeeze the urethra as much as it pushes on my bladder.( reducing it's capacity) Following your guidelines with some modifications, I no longer have any urinary problems, ( most nights I sleep through the night not having to urinate until I awake) take no supplements for my prostate, and take only a small dose of enapril for my BP( which I will not need soon. I also do OMAD during the week). So for anyone that reads this with prostate problems, there is hope for a normal quality of life. Even at my age of 72. You Doctor and your lovely wife are always welcome to visit Lugnano in Teverina, Umbria, Italia, and stay at our Villa!!!! Thank you for your courage to actually help people, not just treat symptoms with drugs.
