This has to be the most unbiased, comprehensive, sustainable lifestyle guidelines that I have ever heard on YT. Trust me when I say I have viewed many, from vegan to carnivore and anything in between.
I eat red meat, fish, eggs, shrimp and butter, lard, tallow. Losing weight. I eat till I'm not hungry, but only twice a day. I'm 70 and no, zero health issues and prostate is great.
So are you saying these are all lies , and are you saying that meat is not the devil for an enlarged prostate . Or the overall health of the prostate . The medical people are wrong . They said Fruits and vegetables not meat it mashed prostate worse especially if it enlarged .
The best thing about being a widower is, I have total control of what foods are in my house. So if I need a snack its sardines, raspberries or walnuts. I'm also doing a weekly 36 hour fast as I have found this method works great for me for weight loss/control.
I have quite recently, over the internet, come across a toxin called oxilate. I'm no doctor, but apparently, oxolates are plants way to defend them selves from being eaten. Raspberries and many nuts are filled with oxilats. ☹ I love nuts and enjoy raspberries. You may want to inform yourself about this toxin. All the best, and I hope I'm haven't invaded your privacy too much.
I have BPH. Do you ever talk about reducing prostate, improved prostate health or lowering psa? Am I on the wrong station? Can you recommend a natural urologist like you for someone without cancer? Your programs are excellent!
Dr. Geo, I here's a data point for you. First, I'm 74 years old, and 6 ft tall. I've been over 230 lbs. since 1998. I was diagnosed with NAFLD in 1999, so I quit drinking soda and fruit juice drinks and tried every diet known to man since then. I had no success losing weight, reaching 310 lbs. by 2015. I had an L3/L4/L5 fusion in 2015, so then I tried a fasting schedule of 16/8 and got down to 285 by 2018. This year in June, I had a C3/C4/C5/C6 fusion which interrupted my exercise routine. Since July, I've been on a carnivore diet, eating grass fed beef, grass fed cheese, free range chickens, pasture raised eggs, wild caught fish (salmon, sardines, and mackerel) and using a protein supplement with BCCA's. I don't eat anything with sugar, no processed foods, very few carbohydrates (cooked spinach, asparagus, and brockley), and I've gone back to the gym for very light resistance training and using resistance bands. I also walk about a mile a day. I increased my fasting schedule to 18/6 eating two meals between 2pm and 8pm. All my blood work has been normal including my lipid panel, and I have a 0.5 PSA score. Since my Neck surgery in June, I've come down from 285 to 255. My end goal is to be under 200 a year from now. I haven't seen any ill effects from this lifestyle yet.
Thank you sir for your testimonial. Can u tell me what exactly you were diagnosed again? What does those letters mean? I'm looking to start something like what you've done to better my health. I know those veggies twice per wk are great for us men to combat prostate cancer etc, so I'll begin there. Sugary stuff is hard to let go but I know it's necessary.
Hate to break this to you. If you’ve had all those fusions, you’ve seen many ill effects from this lifestyle. I mean this in the most helpful way and wish you the best🥰
Been thriving as a recurrent prostate cancer survivor now on Carnivore for 5 months. Haven't felt this good since adulthood. The FOOD and DRUG industry isn't interested in curing anything. If you have prostate cancer, look into carnivore, Fenbendazole and high dosed melatonin.
100% true. The pharma drug cartels are only interested in milking your bank account for all it's worth. They practically killed me with their toxic quackery. Where can you get Fenbendazole?
@@johnobrien5645 I get it from Amazon, sometimes in bulk and make my own capsules. FYI, I stopped melatonin because of concerns of affecting insulin resistance. Carnivore diet is working great.
REally appreciate your simple and straightforward presentation, without the salesman's razzle-dazzle, and your balanced, non-dogmatic, workable approach. Thank you.
It's probably WHAT you're eating. DON"T DRINK ALCOHOL --- a glass of a good red wine occasionally is ok based off what a lot of functional Doctors say.
This made a lot of sense. I have prostate cancer and still eat small portions of meat and eggs for protein and work out moderately with weights to keep muscle. It seems to be working out for me.
I am 70, also have prostate cancer, had a prostatectomy but the cancer had spread outside. My doctor said my PSA would slowly rise and we could soon do an MRI to see where it was. However, I switched from a standard diet to Keto, then to all meat Carnivore. I added extensive exercise twice a day, and took Berberine and metformin to try to down regulate MTOR. My PSA dropped to zero for nine straight months. It came back at a very low level right after I got Covid, but hasn’t risen at all since. I also switched to an intermittent fasting schedule, 18/6, and added a two-day water-only fast from Wednesday night to Friday night. It has been hard to stick with all of this but seems to be working.
Dr. Geo, My spouse with prostate cancer just heard you green-lighted red meat on this podcast. We buy organic everything but I got him off the red meat and an amazing dietary changes to decrease PSA
.I only eat steak and eggs 4 eggs for breakfast and second meal is a rib eye steak with salt and lots of both with butter. No fruit, no vegetables, no processed food, no sugar nothing but eggs and meat, but salmon periodically.
Are you still eating this sort of stuff? Are you still alive and in good health? It's your body. Your choice. Your life. What you eat is very different to what I've been eating. My body, my choice.
Hi, I have been on ADT plus apalutamide for 1 year, just finished external beam radiation on prostate, and eating keto/carnivore. Jan 6 2025 psa 0.008. Stage 4 diagnosed Jan 3 2024, 3 mets in pelvis and 1 in femur.
In Nov. 2021 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer with psa of 14. It was suggested I try carnivore diet, so I did, and my psa was 32 next test. Went plant based immediately after doing some research, and my psa dropped too 22. Today it's 9.5 on plant based diet with alternative approach.
The human body is so different. You look at a Jordan Peterson, went carnivore and it saved he and his daughters life his life a guy like you it didn't help at all. that's why I think they can't get nutrition in order because each individual is different metabolism and inflammation markers and how a body utilizes it is slightly different.
Thank you for sharing your experience. My partner has PSA 3.7 and the urologist told him that's too high. So you're not out of the woods yet, I think. I hope this diet works for y ou. Do report back!
@melindanielsen3106 Do your homework and trust urologists the least. 3.7 is not necessarily too high. Size of prostate, age, inflammation, and other things effect the number. Gleason 6 doesn't metastasize, so careful with urgent calls for prostatectomy or radiation. Continence and sexual function will never be the same. I've had this 10 years, treated conservatively in 2015 that failed, and still kicking. PCRI on TH-cam is the best for conventional treatment advise, and fenbendezole for cancer fb group for alternative approaches.
psa as a predictor of prostate cancer can be as useless as a diving rod.....take your psa and divide by prostate size to get your psa density....you want to be under .15 that can give you peace of mind while you tackle the real proplem: obesity.....low carb diet of fresh non starchy veggies along with clean protein to tackle the weight and combination walking and weight lifting for overall feeling of health (not to mention supporting your lymphatic system.....what finally worked for me was IF 18/6; the diet I mentioned and MOVE: I will only sit for 15 minutes and then get up and move around and do something for at least 15 minutes.@@melindanielsen3106
As I have been reducing significantly my consumption of artificial carbs (processed foods with sugar added) and got into the habit of eating no more than 2 natural carbs per meal, my PSA has gone from 4.5 to 3.1. It has also done away of visceral fats.
I had 4.2... doc wanted to poke a hole through my rectum to gather prostate tissue for biopsy. Digital test showed normal size. I postponed the biopsy. Blood test 3 months later PSA is 4.0. I have changed my diet eliminating all processed carbs and most oils. I still cook steak with avocado oil and butter. I had been eating like keto with veggies and salad. Now I've migrated to more of a carnivore diet, steak/eggs every morning with 2-3 steamed veggies smothered in grass fed butter, salad and sardines for second meal. Skip 3rd meal. 18/6 intermittent fasting. Hopefully next blood test shows more progress but just in case I think I'll start with the Black seed protocol.
Dr Geo, We need you and other doctors to protest against the poisonous additives, preservatives and chemicals that are unnecessarily put in the majority of our grocery and produce. The US sells 1000s of products with ingredients that harmful to human health. So much that nearly all other civilized countries of the world have banned them from all grocery stores and still provide the same products without the dangerous ingredients. These ingredients are always, across the board, hazardous to human health but no one with authority in the healthcare industry is saying anything.
We do need doctors that dont follow direct medicine and think like they shud on there own . No more medicine C. Until a side effect arises dictating medicine F. With other drugs mandated by their messed up ways
I find that the consumption of anything that turns into sugar whether is from carbs or natural table sugar (sucrose/fructose-what we add to coffee) is bad for anyone diagnosed with cancer because it (cancer) loves sugar. If you want to eat carbs, try not to eat more than 2 and the ones that are low in the sugar index.
I don’t know what the hell to eat anymore. You say eat four eggs a week. There are many people who say eat four eggs per day!Vegetarians and vegans say they feel great. The carnivore people say they once they switched to carnivore, everything got cured. I’m so confused. You say eat what’s right for you. Well, how do I know what I think is right for me, is the healthiest way to eat? I really wish all the scientist and doctors could come up with the perfect diet for everyone. Human beings aren’t that much different from one another, unless they have something like type 1 diabetes, or Crohn’s disease, etc.
Every male in my family medical history has died from prostrate cancer. Dad, brothers, uncles, etc. as far back as we can trace. I'm 70 and cancer free as of now, which is unusual for our family predisposition genetic blueprint. I agree with everything Doc Geo has said in this video and live the lifestyle of moderate strength training 3 or 4 times per week, walk a mile or two everyday, occasionally moderate walk/jog 5k train, skip meals for 12 to 18 hours generally once each week, eat 80% fresh or cooked veggies, 20% chicken, seafood and 15 to 25 oz high quality red meat weekly. Been doing this for 10 years and occasionally carb out on pizza or other "junk" about once per month. I drink 1.5 quarts of water generally each day. As doc say's it's not a religion and I bounce around these parameters weekly but not to far off the "reservation." Once you get past the initial few months it's not that hard and cravings go away for the most part. I have a mid dairy allergy as did my dad so I stay away from that as much as possible. If I have dairy it is followed by a bout of BPH symptoms. My PSA has bounced around between 6 and 8 for 10 years. I have a tri-view guided biopsy every two years. Last one was in 2022 so I'm due next year. I have this because of the family history. I am quite active but my movements and trainings are moderate. No alcohol, it gives me BPH symptoms. When I stay away for dairy and alcohol my urine flow is fine. I sleep 8 to 10 hours each night. Dr. Geo's presentation here is the best and most reasonable I've see on TH-cam. One last thing, I stay off of caffeine as it makes my vision blurry for a couple hours after I drink it, so it's not prostrate related but some say it's best to stay away from it for prostate reasons. Thank you so much for your wisdom, research, understanding and diligence Dr. Geo! I believe if men follow what you "preach" they will benefit greatly, not just in prostrate health but many other ways regarding quality of life.
I'm right there with you a good 95% but cannot get behind something like regular biopsies when you have not other signs like from a scan. My urologist bugged me for 3 MRIs worth tho they showed no evidence of cancer. My PSA was around 12.5 but had dropped to 10 and my last one almost 6 months ago was 14.9 dropped down from 16.9 a year prior. I finally made the overnight trip to get a special hi-rez MRI and it came back showing nothing other than enlargement at 64cc. An ultrasound I had last Jan now puts my prostate size at 47.5cc due I think to adding lycopene, extra saw palmetto and added omega 3 via salmon oil, hemp hearts and extra virgin olive oil. A sardine sandwich once a week too. I had noticed my LUTS were even better but was surprised about the reduction in size. I'm 70 in Oct and most likely do have prostate cancer of the very slow kind which is the vast majority of all of them. Without some visible tumour or other irregularity in a scan there is no way I would submit to an invasive procedure like a biopsy. I was adopted and have no info about my birth father's side of the equation tho I did make contact with my birth mother's family to find out she never told them about me and was diagnosed with dementia at age 65 dying of it at age 75 just 6 months before I made contact. I'm much more concerned about losing my mind from dementia than I am about my prostate costing me my life. So far so good with both.
I realize your comment was 5 months ago but I think your on the right track with your diet and exercise. I walk each day and do some push ups. Though I could stand to cut back on food consumption. Good luck to you, keep doing what your doing.
See PCRI comment on this. Research has shown that prostate cancer thrives on animal and dairy produce as opposed to other cancers which thrive on sugar. It appears the balance between risk and quality of life considerations for low risk cancer is less clearcut but favours the diet change for metastatic disease.
This is what's so frustrating I just saw a brand new clinical study that says red meat, lamb and dairy increases T cell count, which is used to fight all cancers I mean we're not using leeches anymore, but it's still nutritional jungle, clearly exercising and being in a good BMI range is optimal and now you're damned if you do damned if you don't sometimes
@@pinotwinelover Interesting, however I would tend to follow the research more specifically focused on prostate cancer rather than a more generalised study claiming positive results for all cancers. There's also the point that animal and dairy products are bad for developing heart disease and we are told that a heart healthy diet tends to be good for prostate cancer too. But as you say all this is a moving target. I recall coffee being stigmatised as bad for health but now we are told 2 or 3 cups a day is good!
@@daisuke6072 I recently had a calcium scoring test at 62 is zero my cardiologist said you'll die of something else. Well apparently this might be a prostate cancer lol but there is some truth that prostate cancer is more Lipogenic but depriving carbohydrates can avoid lipogenesis. Right now if you Google search for use AI it's like 50-50 so it's a total crapshoot that's why I want to get my markers for inflammation and all that stuff done to see how my bodies a line to a particular diet go ketogenic for two months get my markers done then go pole greens and healthy complex carbohydrates for two months and see which one does what .
Dr Geo i like to ask you if any different if i use the Canola spread instead of butter? Even it doesn’t taste as good as butter: i hope it’s safer than Dairy product.
Look up information on canola oil. High on omega 6’s and causes inflammation. There’s been studies showing in mice how cancer grows when given corn oil vs given fish oil which are high in omega 3’s. Hope this helps you make an informed decision.
As more people move towards an animal based lifestyle, it would be interesting to see what the prostate cancer rates are in this group. As I've been animal based for over 2 years now, my poops are the easiest it's ever been. I add veges and carbs, and my stomach bloats, and my poops are harder to pass. So I'm sticking to animal based, I feel amazing, and my poops are amazing😊
I've lost 25lbs, which I definitely did not need to loose, how can I get enough calories to maintain my weight and strength? I am 6' tall and used to weigh 182 to 185lbs. This was with approximately 3 to 4% body fat from age 25 to 65. Now, at age 68, after being diagnosed with prostate cancer and changing my eating habits, I weigh 159lbs. I ate a lot but, if you looked at me, nobody thought I ate too much. With my 10 mile morning run and my weight lifting at night, how do I get enough calories with intermittent fasting to not become a skeleton? Loosing weight and strength rapidly.
Measure your BMR and consume more calories then what you burn. I would also lower the amount of miles you run to stay in a caloric surplus. Also spread you eating window to 8 hours. You might want to look into carnivore diet. Cancer cells love sugars and carbs
Thanks doctor for sharing your knowledge. In regards to dairy would fermented dairy like kefir still be an avoid food in your opinion? Would you consider a cup of kefir a day to be too much?
I read it's the choline in the egg yolk that's the problem , no choline is in the egg white, so maybe eggs whites are a better option ? meat has some choline also
All meat, dairy, eggs and some vegetables are extremely high in an essential amino acid called Methionine. Cancer is addicted to this amino acid. THIS is the issue, this is the correlation. You say there may be a correlation. This it the correlation and it is important and significant
I've recently started a plant based diet after feeling unwell and fatigued for the last few years. I used to eat a lot of meat, eggs and fat . After just a few weeks I have noticed an improvement in my energy and overall well-being. Im slimmer, and have increased energy. So far its working, I think I will continue on whats called 80 10 10 , basically a plant based diet 😊
For me with Addison’s plus slow motility and many with hypoglycemia need mult smaller meals per day. @14:00 look up twins study on sarcopenia and protein intake. There are good sources of plant based protein and many who live decades w/o animal protein and don’t have muscle wasting.
Some inconvenient truths: father worked out 5x a week, was thin, ate meat and eggs daily, dx prostate cancer early 60’s and died at 69. He ate cereal and milk every evening at 9pm for a snack. Wasn’t a diabetic. Weight wasn’t and issue. Next thought: humira reduces prostate cancer by 40% (2023 research). Prostate cancer results from long term inflammation. Reduce what causes inflammation and u have your answer
I wish I had his story. I too am seven years old and have prostate cancer. I eat before I go to bed. I eat a lot. I wonder if that could be causing me to have the prostate cancer. I eat healthy all day. Doctors want to treat. I want to do nothing. Gleason grade seven. Five cores.
I’ve found your advice very practical. As I’ve grown older, I realized I’ll need more protein in my diet. I’m now 76. I used to be a natural bodybuilder but was never into eating much meat. Nevertheless I occasional enjoy beef or chicken, like maybe once every three months or so. And I never used to like eating fish. However I realized I had to make a lifestyle change and I now make fish-head broth. Google it’s benefits. It’s supposed to be super good. I think it is without adding weight to your body. And since I’m much older now, I exercise with light dumbbells with emphasis on concentration and resistance. Dr. Ego’s lecture makes me feel as if I’m doing the right thing. I urge everyone, including my fellow seniors to get off the couch- that is, if some of them are not working out and trying to do the right thing, to follow the good doctor’s advice. Love and respect to all. Thanks, Dr. Geo.
I’ve cut out beef & pork from my diet. I stick to lean animal proteins of chicken, turkey, & fish, limited intake of dairy/eggs. My last meal of the day is dinner at 5pm & I’ll have a very small snack 3 hrs later so my stomach isn’t empty when I take my RSO. In bed by midnight(although I don’t fall asleep right away, until the RSO kicks in) up by 10am & eat my first meal by 11am, so I’ve got the intermittent fasting built into my schedule.
So what would be an example of a plant based breakfast in this context? Also where do we get our macros? From fat or carbs? And what would an example of that be???
I'm 66yo. Plant based + fatty fish. my PSA after trail running 4mi jumps to from 0.7 to 1.2, but if I don't exercise before the blood draw it's a very consistent 0.70 (20 years or so). (My assumption is that the running motion causes more PSA to be extruded into my blood). I get PSA as part of the 3 or 4 blood draws prior to TRT,so get about 6 a year. Should I find a urologist and get a digital exam or rely on the PSA.
Have you done the carnivore lifestyle? I got prostate cancer from being a vegan.rnivore reversed my diabetes and high blood pressure. No more meds for me.
Hemp seed is a good source of protein and has a good balance of omega acids. And it tastes delicious. It does have a relatively short shelf life so if you want to keep a large amount store it in the freezer.
It's very easy to fresh grind the seeds in a coffee grinder. I also saw as study that showed this reduced PSA significantly. 3 TBL /day. I think this was in the form of seeds, then ground. I add to various smoothies and occasional oatmeal. Also I add flax oil.
Man evolved eating meat. Mostly just meat. I do not eat dairy much, mostly some cheese and kefir As for eggs, they are natures perfect food. Everything is in a egg to create life.
It isn’t eating meat that advanced us to be the humans we are today. It’s complex carbohydrates and the feeding of good bacteria in our gut microbiome that advanced us in our evolution. The gut brain axis.
I believe if you must eat meat It should be hormone free and grass fed which in turn would contain some omega 3 and less saturated fat And never combine dairy with meat Especially with prostate problems And not more than once a month Saludos Geo Its Danny (La Bradway) Abrazos
1) Give up dairy, 2) Go light on cheese, 3) limit eggs to 4/week, 4) avoid charring red meat (up to 2x /wk), 5) Eat fish, 6) Eat more fresh veggies, especially cruciferous, 6) intermittent fasting. Thank you Dr. Espinosa -- (I think you are spot on.)
You mean the ancestral human diet consumed for millennia with no chronic diseases. Chronic diseases which came about once we started eating more plants?
Dr.Geo. Very informative. Thank you. 68 I eat Keto and my red meat is grass fed from New Zealand. I don't over eat. No sugar. However, I have question not to do with diet. But Psa numbers. If you take a hot bath 110 to 120 degrees and take Psa blood work a day later will this increase your numbers? I have tired to find this info with some luck but not from experts. I need my baths I work out very and hard work at our house. Thank you in advance M
The deal is you can cook a ketogenic lifestyle by using a ova lacto Vega lifestyle. Cut refined carbs is the key. Keep fruits, nuts and whole grains in moderation
Because of their digestive system it turns plant matter into fats. Study it before you use that argument like you know what's good for men, we are not great apes
As men we have been told that if we live long enough then we will get prostate cancer. But I think we have found that this isn’t true is we eat correctly.
My son has been diagnosed with prostate cancer they say that the tumor is very very small and they want to monitor it without any surgery radiation chemo or anything else I am very happy that my son has changed his lifestyle as far as eating and also he is exercising more he's 55 years. And finally he has stopped his eating of preservative foods preservatives of anything he's juicing more no sweet juices he's not juicing any sweet juices he's juicing healthy vegetables incorporating that with apple or something like that to kind of give it a little bit of a taste he's also Incorporated Ginger into his juices as a result his levels have gone down I think he started out with the level of 5 or 6 and it's down to four point something however I am still concerned because I know things can change he don't he does not eat any red meat he does not eat any protein except fish, chicken and vegetables he drinks green tea, and water. Dr Geo. what is uour opinion of protein powder like whey.
I wouldn't be surprised about dairy, but I would be surprised about meat that is not ultra-processed. As for veganism, all protein is not equal. It's a trap. Eggs are good for you, and the hate on eggs is nonsense. They're one of the healthiest foods. The same for red meat. Vegetables are optional, and can be useful tools, or they can be harmful. I stick to the cruciferous and/or non-starchy ones, and it's worked well for me. I don't go crazy on the "fiber," and I mostly avoid the real demon-sugar/starch.
@@josephschmeggins6311 Never said they were required. You have a microbiome, unless you're a chronic carnivore, and those critters convert materials we cannot digest into short-chain fatty acids. This argument that "there is no requirement for vegetables" is akin to "calories in, calories out." It's "truthy." You do you.
If somebody have health problems they minimum two problems. If they have prostate cancer they have diabetes or heart problems or kidneys problem or anything. In Prostate something shouldn't eat and for another problem some other thing shouldn't eat. If something is prescribed some doctors says they have lectin they have anti nutrients. Then what to eat doctors. I suggest doctors to cultivate that type of food that actually free from all side effects.

If you are overweight, no matter what your diet is, "You're eating too much." Spot On. Dr. Geo did a good dance though the minefield of nutritional theology. He kept moving so that the pervasive nonsense didn't stick to him.
Respectfully, I believe that our health often reflects in our appearance. As an elite trainer and certified fitness nutritionist specialist, I’ve witnessed the transformative impact of a balanced lifestyle on both health and aesthetics. Consider the practices of bodybuilders, who strategically cut and build, utilizing protein for energy. In my experience with Olympic lifting, I’ve noticed increased energy, and my body does reflect my dietary choices. It’s a holistic approach encompassing diet, exercise, and individual responses. If you’d like more insights or have further questions, feel free to ask! 💪🥦 I think that our tired choices like I said are going to reflect in how we look, I mean look at these bodybuilders they’re ripped I don’t wanna go as low as body fat as someone like that, but man, I’m strong muscle is metabolically demanding, and we need protein, and I certainly love bread, meat myself
Such nonsense; fasting gives you energy and is the best strategy to prevent and fight cancer, I know this from experience and it is a scientific fact. I think Geo likes his food and is overweight. Try fasting man, lose some weight, and then come back to lecture folks on TH-cam. You can do fasting in so many ways, beginning with one day in the week. It is all about discipline, giving things up, and getting rid of bad habits and addictions. You don't want many calories, especially in red meat with its growth factors, which not only grow your muscles but cancer cells too. A low-fat vegetarian diet will do, if you want meat; eat white, meat organic if you like fish eat Wild Alaskan Salmon.
Yes , that's correct. It's been recently scientifically proven that low testosterone levels promotes a more aggressive form of prostate cancer and higher levels of testosterone is actually protective of prostate cancer. People have been misinformed based on an outdated study of 1 patient with prostate cancer that was castrated. How many 20 year old guys do you know have prostate cancer??
@@dominictucci6030Yes thank you. I read the same article by a guy named huggins I believe. I have prostate cancer and they all talk about hormone treatment. It's all a farmer suitable conspiracy. All the doctors pushed this medication on people because there's big money involved. Incredibly huge amount of money. So keep feeding your patience our medicines. If these three don't work well..... Try these three. What nonsense.
I understand that the number of ashtrays in your home correlates strongly with lung cancer incidence. I have eliminated all ashtrays from my home so can I now feel safe from lung cancer?
@@DrGeoProstatePodcast The point is that correlation does not mean causation. We know that a vegetable based diet correlates with better prostate cancer outcomes but those who eat a vegetable based diet also more closely follow a healthier lifestyle. How do we know it's the vegetable based diet that's responsible for better cancer outcomes and not those other lifestyle choices?
Meat and diary. Full of IGF-1 Feeds cancer of any sort, research says. So much information overload out there, dont know what to believe. Ive just been possible diagnosed with possible prostate cancer from DRE & MRI. Getting a second opinion from another urologist. Trying to avoid biopsy if possible. My PSA is only 2.5. I'm 66 in two months. Plus, prostate volume is 56 cc🤔 Most urologist, right away, wants to jump right into biopsies.😕 Nevertheless, I'm cutting meat and diary consumption back some. I've been eating alot of yogurt too. P.S. Also, just to mention. I'm on hormone replacement therapy. Testosterone cypionate. Have been for 10 years now. Wonder if that has anything to do with my prostate issues? 10 years ago, my test levels were low. Around 200.
@@Dlindo8892 I'm just going to wait 6 months, and check PSA again. It's only 2.5 from a reading 2 months ago. I rechecked it again last week. Got a reading of 2.7. No biopsies for me, unless it goes over 4.0
Do a bit of reading on IGF-1. Like many things, there’s context. Too little just as bad in some circumstances. Also the studies find different outcome in us older folks. Regular exercise also offsets IGF longer term
From your explanation - and I am not playing doctor on the internet here - I don't think you need a biopsy. But I can be missing something. And you probably can stay on T. Consider a urine test like ExoDx. Good luck.
This has to be the most unbiased, comprehensive, sustainable lifestyle guidelines that I have ever heard on YT. Trust me when I say I have viewed many, from vegan to carnivore and anything in between.
A person asked me how I lost weight and what did they need to do in order to do the same. As soon as I talked about not eating they stopped listening.
On Carnivore, we eat as much food as we want. Till Satiety.
I eat red meat, fish, eggs, shrimp and butter, lard, tallow. Losing weight. I eat till I'm not hungry, but only twice a day. I'm 70 and no, zero health issues and prostate is great.
I think you might be a fellow carnivore. Love it.
So are you saying these are all lies , and are you saying that meat is not the devil for an enlarged prostate . Or the overall health of the prostate . The medical people are wrong . They said Fruits and vegetables not meat it mashed prostate worse especially if it enlarged .

Raspberries and many nuts are filled with oxilats. ☹ I love nuts and enjoy raspberries. You may want to inform yourself about this toxin. All the best, and I hope I'm haven't invaded your privacy too much.
I have BPH. Do you ever talk about reducing prostate, improved prostate health or lowering psa?
Am I on the wrong station? Can you recommend a natural urologist like you for someone without cancer? Your programs are excellent!
Dr. Geo, I here's a data point for you. First, I'm 74 years old, and 6 ft tall. I've been over 230 lbs. since 1998. I was diagnosed with NAFLD in 1999, so I quit drinking soda and fruit juice drinks and tried every diet known to man since then. I had no success losing weight, reaching 310 lbs. by 2015. I had an L3/L4/L5 fusion in 2015, so then I tried a fasting schedule of 16/8 and got down to 285 by 2018. This year in June, I had a C3/C4/C5/C6 fusion which interrupted my exercise routine. Since July, I've been on a carnivore diet, eating grass fed beef, grass fed cheese, free range chickens, pasture raised eggs, wild caught fish (salmon, sardines, and mackerel) and using a protein supplement with BCCA's. I don't eat anything with sugar, no processed foods, very few carbohydrates (cooked spinach, asparagus, and brockley), and I've gone back to the gym for very light resistance training and using resistance bands. I also walk about a mile a day. I increased my fasting schedule to 18/6 eating two meals between 2pm and 8pm. All my blood work has been normal including my lipid panel, and I have a 0.5 PSA score. Since my Neck surgery in June, I've come down from 285 to 255. My end goal is to be under 200 a year from now. I haven't seen any ill effects from this lifestyle yet.
You will

Thank you sir for your testimonial. Can u tell me what exactly you were diagnosed again? What does those letters mean? I'm looking to start something like what you've done to better my health. I know those veggies twice per wk are great for us men to combat prostate cancer etc, so I'll begin there. Sugary stuff is hard to let go but I know it's necessary.
Hate to break this to you. If you’ve had all those fusions, you’ve seen many ill effects from this lifestyle. I mean this in the most helpful way and wish you the best🥰

Been thriving as a recurrent prostate cancer survivor now on Carnivore for 5 months. Haven't felt this good since adulthood. The FOOD and DRUG industry isn't interested in curing anything. If you have prostate cancer, look into carnivore, Fenbendazole and high dosed melatonin.
100% true. The pharma drug cartels are only interested in milking your bank account for all it's worth. They practically killed me with their toxic quackery. Where can you get Fenbendazole?
Thank you SIR!
Where do you get fenbenzadole?
@@johnobrien5645 I get it from Amazon, sometimes in bulk and make my own capsules. FYI, I stopped melatonin because of concerns of affecting insulin resistance. Carnivore diet is working great.
What is the regimen of fenbendazol, did you get it from US or international sources? Did you do chemo, radiation, hormones or surgery?
REally appreciate your simple and straightforward presentation, without the salesman's razzle-dazzle, and your balanced, non-dogmatic, workable approach. Thank you.
Thanks Doc. ❤
Very practical advice. Thanks
I'm on a 18:6 eating schedule. Start eating at 10:00 am and FINISHED eating by 4:00 pm. Been doing it for years BUT my PSA is high at 5.2
It's probably WHAT you're eating. DON"T DRINK ALCOHOL --- a glass of a good red wine occasionally is ok based off what a lot of functional Doctors say.
Great video, thank you. What about Kefir?
This made a lot of sense. I have prostate cancer and still eat small portions of meat and eggs for protein and work out moderately with weights to keep muscle. It seems to be working out for me.
Me too. I’m 76. God has been good to me.
I am 70, also have prostate cancer, had a prostatectomy but the cancer had spread outside. My doctor said my PSA would slowly rise and we could soon do an MRI to see where it was. However, I switched from a standard diet to Keto, then to all meat Carnivore. I added extensive exercise twice a day, and took Berberine and metformin to try to down regulate MTOR. My PSA dropped to zero for nine straight months. It came back at a very low level right after I got Covid, but hasn’t risen at all since. I also switched to an intermittent fasting schedule, 18/6, and added a two-day water-only fast from Wednesday night to Friday night. It has been hard to stick with all of this but seems to be working.
Thank you.
yes i have changed my eating to twice a day its work for me so far i walk 2-3 miles a day and weight training ok !!!
@@jimlaw4634 It would be nice to know if you knew WHAT was working if you know what I mean
Dr. Geo, My spouse with prostate cancer just heard you green-lighted red meat on this podcast. We buy organic everything but I got him off the red meat and an amazing dietary changes to decrease PSA
If he is happy off red meat and gets enough plant proteins in then he should be fine. All the best.
Thanks. You should really specify the variation between association and causation for clarity. The difference is significant.
Thank you for the information. I have prostate cancer and have learned a lot.
.I only eat steak and eggs 4 eggs for breakfast and second meal is a rib eye steak with salt and lots of both with butter. No fruit, no vegetables, no processed food, no sugar nothing but eggs and meat, but salmon periodically.
What is your most recent PSA number?
Are you still eating this sort of stuff? Are you still alive and in good health?
It's your body. Your choice. Your life.
What you eat is very different to what I've been eating. My body, my choice.
Hi, I have been on ADT plus apalutamide for 1 year, just finished external beam radiation on prostate, and eating keto/carnivore. Jan 6 2025 psa 0.008. Stage 4 diagnosed Jan 3 2024, 3 mets in pelvis and 1 in femur.
I agree , this man is so redundant! Indicating what you eat is separate from a healthy lifestyle.
In Nov. 2021 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer with psa of 14. It was suggested I try carnivore diet, so I did, and my psa was 32 next test. Went plant based immediately after doing some research, and my psa dropped too 22. Today it's 9.5 on plant based diet with alternative approach.
Can I ask what alternative approach are you doing?
The human body is so different. You look at a Jordan Peterson, went carnivore and it saved he and his daughters life his life a guy like you it didn't help at all. that's why I think they can't get nutrition in order because each individual is different metabolism and inflammation markers and how a body utilizes it is slightly different.
Thank you for sharing your experience. My partner has PSA 3.7 and the urologist told him that's too high. So you're not out of the woods yet, I think. I hope this diet works for y ou. Do report back!
@melindanielsen3106 Do your homework and trust urologists the least. 3.7 is not necessarily too high. Size of prostate, age, inflammation, and other things effect the number. Gleason 6 doesn't metastasize, so careful with urgent calls for prostatectomy or radiation. Continence and sexual function will never be the same. I've had this 10 years, treated conservatively in 2015 that failed, and still kicking. PCRI on TH-cam is the best for conventional treatment advise, and fenbendezole for cancer fb group for alternative approaches.
psa as a predictor of prostate cancer can be as useless as a diving rod.....take your psa and divide by prostate size to get your psa density....you want to be under .15 that can give you peace of mind while you tackle the real proplem: obesity.....low carb diet of fresh non starchy veggies along with clean protein to tackle the weight and combination walking and weight lifting for overall feeling of health (not to mention supporting your lymphatic system.....what finally worked for me was IF 18/6; the diet I mentioned and MOVE: I will only sit for 15 minutes and then get up and move around and do something for at least 15 minutes.@@melindanielsen3106
As I have been reducing significantly my consumption of artificial carbs (processed foods with sugar added) and got into the habit of eating no more than 2 natural carbs per meal, my PSA has gone from 4.5 to 3.1. It has also done away of visceral fats.
Did you have prostatitis?
@@bekabeka71 No...I do not recall having any of those symptoms associated with that. Nonetheless, I have not been diagnosed with prostatitis.
@@cristiandiaz6333 okay very strange because prostatitis symptoms are quite similar to pelvic floor inflammation too
@@bekabeka71 I asked my urologist about that once, but no problems found.
I had 4.2... doc wanted to poke a hole through my rectum to gather prostate tissue for biopsy. Digital test showed normal size. I postponed the biopsy. Blood test 3 months later PSA is 4.0. I have changed my diet eliminating all processed carbs and most oils. I still cook steak with avocado oil and butter. I had been eating like keto with veggies and salad. Now I've migrated to more of a carnivore diet, steak/eggs every morning with 2-3 steamed veggies smothered in grass fed butter, salad and sardines for second meal. Skip 3rd meal. 18/6 intermittent fasting.
Hopefully next blood test shows more progress but just in case I think I'll start with the Black seed protocol.
Dr Geo,
We need you and other doctors to protest against the poisonous additives, preservatives and chemicals that are unnecessarily put in the majority of our grocery and produce. The US sells 1000s of products with ingredients that harmful to human health. So much that nearly all other civilized countries of the world have banned them from all grocery stores and still provide the same products without the dangerous ingredients. These ingredients are always, across the board, hazardous to human health but no one with authority in the healthcare industry is saying anything.
Totally agree. Thank you.
We do need doctors that dont follow direct medicine and think like they shud on there own .
No more medicine C. Until a side effect arises dictating medicine F. With other drugs mandated by their messed up ways
Thank you so much ! I like your moderate and reasonable speech !
I find that the consumption of anything that turns into sugar whether is from carbs or natural table sugar (sucrose/fructose-what we add to coffee) is bad for anyone diagnosed with cancer because it (cancer) loves sugar. If you want to eat carbs, try not to eat more than 2 and the ones that are low in the sugar index.
Sucrose fructose 100%bad period
I don’t know what the hell to eat anymore. You say eat four eggs a week. There are many people who say eat four eggs per day!Vegetarians and vegans say they feel great. The carnivore people say they once they switched to carnivore, everything got cured. I’m so confused. You say eat what’s right for you. Well, how do I know what I think is right for me, is the healthiest way to eat?
I really wish all the scientist and doctors could come up with the perfect diet for everyone. Human beings aren’t that much different from one another, unless they have something like type 1 diabetes, or Crohn’s disease, etc.
I understand the frustration. It could be confusing. A podcast on this same issue will be coming out soon.
@@DrGeoProstatePodcast That would be great! Thank you.
I think the good doctor missed the sugar link to bad health
Sugar and carbs are the problem not the meat, eggs and dairy
If you miss the sugar link, you're probably a quack?
Every male in my family medical history has died from prostrate cancer. Dad, brothers, uncles, etc. as far back as we can trace. I'm 70 and cancer free as of now, which is unusual for our family predisposition genetic blueprint. I agree with everything Doc Geo has said in this video and live the lifestyle of moderate strength training 3 or 4 times per week, walk a mile or two everyday, occasionally moderate walk/jog 5k train, skip meals for 12 to 18 hours generally once each week, eat 80% fresh or cooked veggies, 20% chicken, seafood and 15 to 25 oz high quality red meat weekly. Been doing this for 10 years and occasionally carb out on pizza or other "junk" about once per month. I drink 1.5 quarts of water generally each day. As doc say's it's not a religion and I bounce around these parameters weekly but not to far off the "reservation." Once you get past the initial few months it's not that hard and cravings go away for the most part. I have a mid dairy allergy as did my dad so I stay away from that as much as possible. If I have dairy it is followed by a bout of BPH symptoms. My PSA has bounced around between 6 and 8 for 10 years. I have a tri-view guided biopsy every two years. Last one was in 2022 so I'm due next year. I have this because of the family history. I am quite active but my movements and trainings are moderate. No alcohol, it gives me BPH symptoms. When I stay away for dairy and alcohol my urine flow is fine. I sleep 8 to 10 hours each night. Dr. Geo's presentation here is the best and most reasonable I've see on TH-cam. One last thing, I stay off of caffeine as it makes my vision blurry for a couple hours after I drink it, so it's not prostrate related but some say it's best to stay away from it for prostate reasons. Thank you so much for your wisdom, research, understanding and diligence Dr. Geo! I believe if men follow what you "preach" they will benefit greatly, not just in prostrate health but many other ways regarding quality of life.
Do you have prostatitis? Is there a natural way to cure it?
Can I ask what are your bph symptoms? Urine ne retention?
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm right there with you a good 95% but cannot get behind something like regular biopsies when you have not other signs like from a scan. My urologist bugged me for 3 MRIs worth tho they showed no evidence of cancer. My PSA was around 12.5 but had dropped to 10 and my last one almost 6 months ago was 14.9 dropped down from 16.9 a year prior.
I finally made the overnight trip to get a special hi-rez MRI and it came back showing nothing other than enlargement at 64cc. An ultrasound I had last Jan now puts my prostate size at 47.5cc due I think to adding lycopene, extra saw palmetto and added omega 3 via salmon oil, hemp hearts and extra virgin olive oil. A sardine sandwich once a week too. I had noticed my LUTS were even better but was surprised about the reduction in size.
I'm 70 in Oct and most likely do have prostate cancer of the very slow kind which is the vast majority of all of them. Without some visible tumour or other irregularity in a scan there is no way I would submit to an invasive procedure like a biopsy. I was adopted and have no info about my birth father's side of the equation tho I did make contact with my birth mother's family to find out she never told them about me and was diagnosed with dementia at age 65 dying of it at age 75 just 6 months before I made contact. I'm much more concerned about losing my mind from dementia than I am about my prostate costing me my life. So far so good with both.
I realize your comment was 5 months ago but I think your on the right track with your diet and exercise. I walk each day and do some push ups. Though I could stand to cut back on food consumption. Good luck to you, keep doing what your doing.
How does the early dinner advise relate to peoples health in France and Italy where they are accustomed to have dinner fairly late in the evening?
Dr Geo you have a great sense of humor. Love this.
😊
See PCRI comment on this. Research has shown that prostate cancer thrives on animal and dairy produce as opposed to other cancers which thrive on sugar. It appears the balance between risk and quality of life considerations for low risk cancer is less clearcut but favours the diet change for metastatic disease.
This is what's so frustrating I just saw a brand new clinical study that says red meat, lamb and dairy increases T cell count, which is used to fight all cancers I mean we're not using leeches anymore, but it's still nutritional jungle, clearly exercising and being in a good BMI range is optimal and now you're damned if you do damned if you don't sometimes
@@pinotwinelover Interesting, however I would tend to follow the research more specifically focused on prostate cancer rather than a more generalised study claiming positive results for all cancers. There's also the point that animal and dairy products are bad for developing heart disease and we are told that a heart healthy diet tends to be good for prostate cancer too. But as you say all this is a moving target. I recall coffee being stigmatised as bad for health but now we are told 2 or 3 cups a day is good!
@@daisuke6072 I recently had a calcium scoring test at 62 is zero my cardiologist said you'll die of something else. Well apparently this might be a prostate cancer lol but there is some truth that prostate cancer is more Lipogenic but depriving carbohydrates can avoid lipogenesis. Right now if you Google search for use AI it's like 50-50 so it's a total crapshoot that's why I want to get my markers for inflammation and all that stuff done to see how my bodies a line to a particular diet go ketogenic for two months get my markers done then go pole greens and healthy complex carbohydrates for two months and see which one does what .
@@daisuke6072Stop spewing nonsense about animal products and heart disease.
Dr Geo i like to ask you if any different if i use the Canola spread instead of butter? Even it doesn’t taste as good as butter: i hope it’s safer than Dairy product.
Look up information on canola oil. High on omega 6’s and causes inflammation. There’s been studies showing in mice how cancer grows when given corn oil vs given fish oil which are high in omega 3’s. Hope this helps you make an informed decision.
No it's not at all ??? Eat butter, seed oils are deadly
As more people move towards an animal based lifestyle, it would be interesting to see what the prostate cancer rates are in this group.
As I've been animal based for over 2 years now, my poops are the easiest it's ever been. I add veges and carbs, and my stomach bloats, and my poops are harder to pass. So I'm sticking to animal based, I feel amazing, and my poops are amazing😊
Exercise more, eat less and everything else in moderation.
I've lost 25lbs, which I definitely did not need to loose, how can I get enough calories to maintain my weight and strength? I am 6' tall and used to weigh 182 to 185lbs.
This was with approximately 3 to 4% body fat from age 25 to 65. Now, at age 68, after being diagnosed with prostate cancer and changing my eating habits, I weigh 159lbs. I ate a lot but, if you looked at me, nobody thought I ate too much. With my 10 mile morning run and my weight lifting at night, how do I get enough calories with intermittent fasting to not become a skeleton? Loosing weight and strength rapidly.
Measure your BMR and consume more calories then what you burn. I would also lower the amount of miles you run to stay in a caloric surplus. Also spread you eating window to 8 hours. You might want to look into carnivore diet. Cancer cells love sugars and carbs

I’ve found your advice very practical. As I’ve grown older, I realized I’ll need more protein in my diet. I’m now 76. I used to be a natural bodybuilder but was never into eating much meat. Nevertheless I occasional enjoy beef or chicken, like maybe once every three months or so. And I never used to like eating fish. However I realized I had to make a lifestyle change and I now make fish-head broth. Google it’s benefits. It’s supposed to be super good. I think it is without adding weight to your body. And since I’m much older now, I exercise with light dumbbells with emphasis on concentration and resistance. Dr. Ego’s lecture makes me feel as if I’m doing the right thing. I urge everyone, including my fellow seniors to get off the couch- that is, if some of them are not working out and trying to do the right thing, to follow the good doctor’s advice. Love and respect to all. Thanks, Dr. Geo.

How do you feel about Autography? ( or however it's spelled). I mean fasting both short and long-term.
I guess I jumped the gun on the question I'm fasting before I listen to the whole video.
I think you mean autophagy?
Yes autophagy - cell death of old dysfunctional cell seem to happen well with fasting. And that is a good thing.
I’ve cut out beef & pork from my diet. I stick to lean animal proteins of chicken, turkey, & fish, limited intake of dairy/eggs. My last meal of the day is dinner at 5pm & I’ll have a very small snack 3 hrs later so my stomach isn’t empty when I take my RSO. In bed by midnight(although I don’t fall asleep right away, until the RSO kicks in) up by 10am & eat my first meal by 11am, so I’ve got the intermittent fasting built into my schedule.
Bad idea. You need the animal fats.

I am Taking one fig fruit with almond milk in morning is it okay daily and I am 77 year old with 5.15 PSA
I'm 66yo. Plant based + fatty fish. my PSA after trail running 4mi jumps to from 0.7 to 1.2, but if I don't exercise before the blood draw it's a very consistent 0.70 (20 years or so).
(My assumption is that the running motion causes more PSA to be extruded into my blood). I get PSA as part of the 3 or 4 blood draws prior to TRT,so get about 6 a year.
Should I find a urologist and get a digital exam or rely on the PSA.

Is Greek yogurt ok. Or is that too much dairy?
Coconut or soy yoghurt are great
Hemp seed is a good source of protein and has a good balance of omega acids. And it tastes delicious. It does have a relatively short shelf life so if you want to keep a large amount store it in the freezer.
It's very easy to fresh grind the seeds in a coffee grinder. I also saw as study that showed this reduced PSA significantly. 3 TBL /day. I think this was in the form of seeds, then ground. I add to various smoothies and occasional oatmeal. Also I add flax oil.
Not inexpensive but you are right!

Man evolved eating meat. Mostly just meat. I do not eat dairy much, mostly some cheese and kefir As for eggs, they are natures perfect food. Everything is in a egg to create life.
It isn’t eating meat that advanced us to be the humans we are today. It’s complex carbohydrates and the feeding of good bacteria in our gut microbiome that advanced us in our evolution. The gut brain axis.
No he didnt. Meat was scarce. Even in the modern world and day inly the rich had meat. Most had meat on sunday
We got meat once a year if we managed to catch it

It should be hormone free and grass fed which in turn would contain some omega 3 and less saturated fat
And never combine dairy with meat
Especially with prostate problems
And not more than once a month

Doctor what do you think of the carnivore diet?
I think it helps some people, especially people with autoimmune diseases. I am not sure what the long term effect of that diet, however.
You mean the ancestral human diet consumed for millennia with no chronic diseases. Chronic diseases which came about once we started eating more plants?

Very informative. Thank you. 68 I eat Keto and my red meat is grass fed from New Zealand. I don't over eat. No sugar. However, I have question not to do with diet. But Psa numbers. If you take a hot bath 110 to 120 degrees and take Psa blood work a day later will this increase your numbers? I have tired to find this info with some luck but not from experts. I need my baths I work out very and hard work at our house. Thank you in advance M
I am not sure there is a relationship between hot baths and PSA increase.

Dr Geo. what is uour opinion of protein powder like whey.
I wouldn't be surprised about dairy, but I would be surprised about meat that is not ultra-processed. As for veganism, all protein is not equal. It's a trap. Eggs are good for you, and the hate on eggs is nonsense. They're one of the healthiest foods. The same for red meat. Vegetables are optional, and can be useful tools, or they can be harmful. I stick to the cruciferous and/or non-starchy ones, and it's worked well for me. I don't go crazy on the "fiber," and I mostly avoid the real demon-sugar/starch.
Daily requirement for vegetables in humans is precisely zero. Same for fiber.
@@josephschmeggins6311 Never said they were required. You have a microbiome, unless you're a chronic carnivore, and those critters convert materials we cannot digest into short-chain fatty acids.

If somebody have health problems they minimum two problems. If they have prostate cancer they have diabetes or heart problems or kidneys problem or anything. In Prostate something shouldn't eat and for another problem some other thing shouldn't eat. If something is prescribed some doctors says they have lectin they have anti nutrients. Then what to eat doctors. I suggest doctors to cultivate that type of food that actually free from all side effects.
What about the choline in eggs. I heard that you shouldn’t have any because it’s so detrimental to prostate cancer.
They lied its the opposite
@@andytashiro the ones who are bought and paid for, you haven't worked the world out yet fella, the truth is the opposite of what they tell you
Lentils?
As protein?
Likely good or neutral

If you are overweight, no matter what your diet is, "You're eating too much." Spot On.
Dr. Geo did a good dance though the minefield of nutritional theology.
He kept moving so that the pervasive nonsense didn't stick to him.
Thanks
Respectfully, I believe that our health often reflects in our appearance. As an elite trainer and certified fitness nutritionist specialist, I’ve witnessed the transformative impact of a balanced lifestyle on both health and aesthetics. Consider the practices of bodybuilders, who strategically cut and build, utilizing protein for energy. In my experience with Olympic lifting, I’ve noticed increased energy, and my body does reflect my dietary choices. It’s a holistic approach encompassing diet, exercise, and individual responses. If you’d like more insights or have further questions, feel free to ask! 💪🥦 I think that our tired choices like I said are going to reflect in how we look, I mean look at these bodybuilders they’re ripped I don’t wanna go as low as body fat as someone like that, but man, I’m strong muscle is metabolically demanding, and we need protein, and I certainly love bread, meat myself
What about egg white (not the yolk)?
Such nonsense; fasting gives you energy and is the best strategy to prevent and fight cancer, I know this from experience and it is a scientific fact. I think Geo likes his food and is overweight. Try fasting man, lose some weight, and then come back to lecture folks on TH-cam.
You can do fasting in so many ways, beginning with one day in the week.
It is all about discipline, giving things up, and getting rid of bad habits and addictions.
You don't want many calories, especially in red meat with its growth factors, which not only grow your muscles but cancer cells too.
A low-fat vegetarian diet will do, if you want meat; eat white, meat organic if you like fish eat Wild Alaskan Salmon.
Some of the best teachers are not the best practitioners
Great information! Thank you so much for spreading the truth! We are eating too much"
What about grass-fed Bison & beef????
There is no evidence that bison for grass fed beef is good or bad for prostate cancer. It might neutral.
In Europe phosphate spraying is allowed so we are likely getting poisoned quicker than following any other avoidance regime will do it.
Eggs causing prostate cancer 😂😂😂😂 clueless, low testosterone causing prostate cancer.
Low test ????
🤡
Yes , that's correct. It's been recently scientifically proven that low testosterone levels promotes a more aggressive form of prostate cancer and higher levels of testosterone is actually protective of prostate cancer. People have been misinformed based on an outdated study of 1 patient with prostate cancer that was castrated. How many 20 year old guys do you know have prostate cancer??
@@dominictucci6030 high estrogen
@@dominictucci6030Yes thank you. I read the same article by a guy named huggins I believe. I have prostate cancer and they all talk about hormone treatment. It's all a farmer suitable conspiracy. All the doctors pushed this medication on people because there's big money involved. Incredibly huge amount of money. So keep feeding your patience our medicines. If these three don't work well..... Try these three. What nonsense.
You don’t want to encourage under eating either you don’t want to stay in a deficit
I understand that the number of ashtrays in your home correlates strongly with lung cancer incidence. I have eliminated all ashtrays from my home so can I now feel safe from lung cancer?
not sure about the analogy here.
@@DrGeoProstatePodcast The point is that correlation does not mean causation. We know that a vegetable based diet correlates with better prostate cancer outcomes but those who eat a vegetable based diet also more closely follow a healthier lifestyle. How do we know it's the vegetable based diet that's responsible for better cancer outcomes and not those other lifestyle choices?
Meat and diary. Full of IGF-1
Feeds cancer of any sort, research says. So much information overload out there, dont know what to believe. Ive just been possible diagnosed with possible prostate cancer from DRE & MRI. Getting a second opinion from another urologist. Trying to avoid biopsy if possible.
My PSA is only 2.5. I'm 66 in two months. Plus, prostate volume is 56 cc🤔
Most urologist, right away, wants to jump right into biopsies.😕
Nevertheless, I'm cutting meat and diary consumption back some. I've been eating alot of yogurt too.
P.S.
Also, just to mention. I'm on hormone replacement therapy. Testosterone cypionate. Have been for 10 years now. Wonder if that has anything to do with my prostate issues?
10 years ago, my test levels were low. Around 200.
Any update on your prostate issue?
@@Dlindo8892
I'm just going to wait 6 months, and check PSA again. It's only 2.5 from a reading 2 months ago. I rechecked it again last week. Got a reading of 2.7.
No biopsies for me, unless it goes over 4.0
Do a bit of reading on IGF-1. Like many things, there’s context. Too little just as bad in some circumstances. Also the studies find different outcome in us older folks. Regular exercise also offsets IGF longer term
One more point about IGF-1, context….meat raises it somewhat, but exercise bumps it twenty fold temporarily….but in the long term it lowers it.
From your explanation - and I am not playing doctor on the internet here - I don't think you need a biopsy. But I can be missing something. And you probably can stay on T. Consider a urine test like ExoDx. Good luck.
Sure hope your microphone don't fall, looks heavy
