@denis donbas Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. Listening to Dr. Berry saved my kidneys, nerves, limbs, eyesight and indeed my life and the lives of many others.
A medical doctor who doesn't just prescribe pharmaceuticals and teaches the importance of healthy eating and lifestyle choices is someone worth hearing.
Thanks! I am currently having some issues down there and I’m on my second month or a real human diet. Hoping to see some improvements sooner than later.
I started lchf diet a few weeks ago and feel so much better. I decided to help my three old dogs as much as I could. Got them on raw meat as much as I could afford. I looked up ways to get the right ingredients. They all act younger, have more energy, and smile more. We all seem to be better on this way of eating.
Hi bud my father died from prostate cancer, so I've taken serious care of my health, I started carnivore 4 months ago my urine i had a reasonable stream but not as I was , now I can piss like I was 25 put a bit of effort and I'll piss over the fence, so in relation to your pod cast you can reverse enlarged prostate with diet,. Thanks for all you pod casts it helps us all By the way I'm 54 now

Thanks for another bright idea. Your videos are a true inspiration for us physicians and they really make me as a cardiologist reconsider what I tell my patients. Never stop wondering and learning! Keep up with your service !
I was taking Tamsulosin and getting up 3 or 4 times a night. After 3 months of keto I dumped the Tamsulosin and now get up once or not at all. THANKS DR. BERRY.
@@scotniver7180 After being on keto for 3 months I wasn't getting up much so I asked the doctor if I could stop taking Tamsulsin and he said ok. It's almost 2 years now and I'm doing fine. This summer the doctor took me off my blood pressure pill and I'm doing well without it. At 69 he told me he seldom takes people off meds at my age is impressed with my results from keto.
@@michaelstorm8578 Thanks for the reply. I'm on OMAD and cutting most of the carbs.. Don't drink smoke or eat sugar.. It's been 2 weeks and my life has changed considerably already. Looking forward to possibly quitting Tamulsin. I've been on it for 4 years.. Thanks again
@@scotniver7180 I’m on tamsulosin less than 2 weeks now. Side effects have been real and not desirable if you know what I mean. I’m changing diet pretty drastically hoping to get off it.
Dr Ken, I watched another TH-cam video and the presenter claimed milk and dairy products were bad for BPH. He also said a keto diet was recommended. What is your opinion on dairy products? I'm on keto, so I avoid milk, but use a lot of cheese and cream products. Thanks.
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.)
@@baranjan4172 Turns out its inflammation, which can not be treated by the laser. The diet does help, but not as much as never sitting down. Though any reason to keep a heathy diet going is good IMO. Thanks :)
@@aSubjectProduction , antibiotics for acute inflammation and dietary change for chronic inflammation. Hope at leas one of them will help you. Good luck!
@@baranjan4172 Pumping me full of antibiotics was the first thing they tried actually. Didn't seem to help though. My insides were jacked for months after that. Now its onto the stronger NSAIDs, muscle relaxers and "continuing with the lifestyle changes". Which unfortunately means playing about 90% less drums, sitting on special pads, and just doing a lot of standing. Staying away from the grains seems to help to, so there is something to that for sure. Been on that track for a while now, but it's easy to slip up. It's rough when the few things you enjoy doing in life end up causing you misery. Thank you for your concern and attentiveness Baran. It's a new year! Hears to it being better than the last!!
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 🤗
About 3 or 4 years ago, my husband had prostate cancer. His doctor who did the surgery to remove the prostate thought for sure that my husband would have to have radiation therapy afterwards, but thanks be to God, he didn't, and when he has his checkups, everything so far checks out well. Husband also is on medicine for blood sugar issues, and blood pressure etc. He's 71, so not sure he's gonna change diet now, but it would help I'm sure.
Hi Dr. Berry - I learn a lot from your videos, you are great at explaiing the conditions and causes but you spend little time or just rush to the fixes and/or preventive practices, foods, alternative medicines, etc. It would be helpful if you share charts or list of the things you recommend for us to try. Respectfully. Thank you.
KenDBerryMD Dr Berry after a fast and then proceeding to eat spicy foods ...like spicy sausages... I’ve had in the past digestive issues like severely irritated anus or rectum and somewhat heavy straining issues and some diarrhea and it feels like the area is just experiencing inflammation....does the prostrate get affected also? Cause some times it feels like it might cause I feel like urinating even when I don’t actually pee anything out... the prostrate location is nearby isn’t it? That’s why I wonder if eating spicy foods that overwhelm the colon might also effect the prostrate and if so is this transitory condition a problem. Sorry for this gross question...I’m wondering if I’m more sensitive to spicy foods now that I’m Keto and Carnivore like in my diet choices... I like spicy foods and want to know if I can still eat them but I’ve been hesitant cause I wonder if I should be eating them with something to help keep from irritating my intestines. Cheers! :-)
My husband had his levels checked and doctor said it was normal and gave him the blue pill. He's lost weight every where, still has a beer gut. Or as he says bun in the oven. LOL. He follows keto. So I'm thinking he still has I.R he's not diabetic. He says he feels like he's masculinity is gone. We don't know what to do.
I have occasionally had flow problems presumably from an enlarged prostate. I think it may be a sign of body inflammation, as my psoriasis is also worse. I am recovering from ankle surgery. I supplement with saw palmetto twice a day, and it really makes a difference.
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.
I'm 62 and a survivor of the "Carboholocaust" which is finally being addressed by awesome people like Dr. Berry. You younger folks should consider yourself lucky indeed.
Yeah, this carboholocaust is probly what gave me BPH . I eat low carb or keto for much of the last 7 yrs but it hasnt reversed my BPH. But i also practice IF and find myself eating or drinking calories in my 6 hr eating window about 3 x each so maybe my insulin is still too high for 6 hrs a day to help my prostate return to normal?
@@ponyboykurtis4645 I've been a vegetarian for 50 years, my doctor told me I'm in the 1% of healthiest people he sees. Paleo, keto are unproven diets when YOU are personally on that diet for 50 years THEN tell me it's the perfect diet, right now you're eating a theory. Vegetarianism has been studied for centuries, our ancestors lived into their 30's. We know the vegetarian diet is a LONG range healthy diet, again, keto is a theory diet. Come back after two hundred years of it being studied. Steel cut oats is one of the best foods you can eat and it's very low on the glycemic index. Look it up, let's not confuse healthy carbs with junk food. Dr Berry doesn't know he will be as healthy as I am at almost 75 years old, he's not there yet, he's living a theory, I'm not.
You are just a little cynical, just like all the vegan people I have met. if you would open your mind and you will find that diets work for the people from where they descend from. Take an Inuit person they do not eat plants they do not grow in ice. they live to be 100 years old as well healthy they live with 6 months of darkness please explain this, they have live for thousands of years not eating greens and live to be 100.
37 years old and was diagnosed with BPH. I just had the TURP surgery a few days ago because my quality of life was awful these past couple of weeks - bladder retention. Urinating better now and researching what I can do with my diet to minimize regrowth in coming years.
My father died of prostate cancer. He was never overweight in fact he had good abs into his 70s, he died aged 76. The strange thing was that he was a proponent of carnivore diet 40 years ago when he read a book called “Eat Fat grow slim” His doctor ironically talked him out of it and he started to eat whole meal bread, porridge and plenty of fruit and vegetables. Just wondered had he continued with his high fat low carb diet he may not have got the prostate cancer. Thanks for the great advice all the best from Nottingham England
I'm doing Keto...have been for over a year...lost over 74 pounds (225 lbs to 148), no insulin, no diabetes, 72 years old...hi fat, low carb, fasting 23 hours a day.
joel gandia it sure doesnt affect me at all😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️ maybe u should get ur hormones checked i guess. I honestly dont think keto is the reason cause it helps balance hormones
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!
Great topic! I was placed on Doxazosin for high blood pressure and urinary control/impulse issues supposedly caused by BPE over 5 years ago. Prostate was never actually checked. 🤷♂️ My blood pressure never improved, but the urinary issues did. Doctor increased dosage and added Lisinopril. 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.
Carnivore for 8 months and recently noticed my night time trips to the bathroom have greatly diminished. Carnivore may not heal overnight, but in time wonderful results can happen.
I can't complain that I had clear symptoms of developed BPH, but in the past 4-5 years, I have noticed a diminishing rate of urine flow. Almost a year ago, I moved to a low-to-no carb diet, which I've maintained diligently. About two months ago, I suddenly realized that urine flow has lately been, so to speak, gushing, relative to the past several years. I should mention that other than cutting out sugar, I have been taking 12,000 IU of Vit. D daily, and 300 mg of Mg.
He's right-totally cured me. Took about a 6 months and I noticed that I no longer needed Flomx. So amazing what things come back online and start to function again. Glad you made this video sharing with my doctor now- we didn't understand the connection and if there actually was one. Thanks so much doc you are awesome!!
Thanks. My husband and his brothers all suffer from this. My husband has improved greatly over 6 months on Keto which I started a year ago for my Type 1 diabetes. I have reduced insulin from about 15 units of Rapid and 22 of basal to 8 units of basal once per day. Yay!
Thanks this video came just in time, I am 68 have been diagnosed with BPH but I don't have any of the symptoms I'm supposed to have. I have stopped all grains, fruit and as much vegetable carbs as I can, I first had a PSA level of 11 and 2 weeks later PSA 9.5, another test 2 weeks later PSA 10. It seems to be fluctuating, my Dr wants me to see a urologist and have an MRI, possibly leading to biopsies which I'm not happy about, as I'm a very fit and healthy 68 yo, and don't want to affect my health with unnecessary medical interference. I will continue towards a full on keto or possibly carnivore diet.
@@cynthiamccullough3718 thanks Cynthia will do, I've been keto for only 6 months, all my joints are pain free, and I figure I've been hypinsulinemic for at least 67 years, so I'm hoping there's a good chance of no cancer.
I'm 58 with PSA = 4. I heard a video last night that said a animal protein is worse for Prostate than plant. Anyway, is your Keto journey still helping your prostate condition? Thanks and best wishes 🙂
Interesting. My doc said my prostate was a tiny bit enlarged - but she still stuck me on tamsulosin - awful side-effects! Three years later, I started losing weight on Keto and intermittent fasting. I noticed that my urine stream was a bit better. I stopped the meds and after a couple of days, things improved greatly. Not perfect, but better than when I was on the meds. Keto has allowed me to return to the weight I was when I was 16 - I'm 52 now - I know, I don't look 52!
Dr Berry what you just pointed out sounds very logical. I am a diabetic now at prediabetic stage. I had to have a TRUP operation in 2015. In 2017 my PSA was.past 3. I was told that my testicles had to be removed so my testosterone lowers, because it feeds cancer cells. I refused. Now my PSA has just passed 4. I'm 72 years old.
At 72 years old must Seek God Eat fruits n vegetables Intermittent fasting Be careful of drugs from doctor NO OPERATION on your body. READ MORE You will most likely DIE WITH your ailment. I doubt it will kill you.
Please dr berry can you do an in depth look at your story? You talk briefly about your weight before keto etc.... but we never see any pictures or stories about your health pre-keto. Please consider doing a video... it would really encourage people and show the reality of keto!
a1c, 6-5.8-5.7 over 2 years. 3 months ago fasting insulin was 14. Cut sugar, rice, bread, pasta, fruit juice and processed food. Reduced eating window to 8hrs. Yesterday fasting insulin 3. Boom. hsCRP fell from 2.4 to 1.05. Had first sleep through sleep for as long as I can remember.
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. My suggestion is to not make every video about the exact same solution / topic :( otherwise, there’s no additional new information Thank you and appreciate your desire to help and provide natural solutions and health .
My brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer earlier in the year, psa shot up to over 9. Doctor gave him one shot of hormone therapy, when i found out I gave him my copy of Dr. Berry's book and helped him get into keto as fast as he could. His last psa was 0.9!!! when he stopped all treatment from the cancer Docs, he took quite a bit of flack. his last checkup showed no signs of enlarged prostate or growth. He's very happy now that he didn't go through with the surgery and chemo/radiation that was being pushed on him like a bullies in the schoolyard. They made him have a biopsy early in the diagnoses so he still needs to get a MRI to see if any cancer was deposited /spread elsewhere from that unnecessary surgery.
Junior Joseph The cancer did not spread and the mri report said the risk is low but the dr insisted to do hormone therapy or surgery. I forgot about it not worth the side effects.
Dan McBride Thanks Dan - great to hear your brother’s success; same thing happened with me; they wanted another biopsy and surgery or hormone but they couldn’t twist my arm. I’m leading a good life; some problems waking up at night.
Dr. Berry, please do a video about the controversy among medical professional organizations like the USPSTF, ACS, AUA, NCCN, etc surrounding the use of the screening PSA test as a tool to "detect" early Prostate Cancer, its pros and cons and how it often leads to unneccesary, risky biopsies. k
As a 55 year old about to start TRT, this video made my day. Because, like many, I was under the impression TRT might tend to make my already large prostate, even bigger. Which never made sense, since, as you pointed out in the video, we have no issues with the prostate during the time of life when our T-levels are HIGHEST. Yet we get a big ole swollen prostate during the time in life when T is much lower. This video also confirms my hunch that insulin (and perhaps excess IGF, as a result of too much insulin?) plays the primary role in enlarged prostate. I currently pee all day and all night long. Sometimes 5 to 6 times a night. So, I really want to cure this issue. But I also want to get on TRT. So, it's nice to know the TRT won't exacerbate my prostate issues. I've been doing a half-ass version of low carb for many years, but this motivates me to go very strict low carb, and high fat. Maybe even full-blown carnivore at some point. Because not having to pee all night, and actually being able to get some sleep, would literally be life changing for me. I also plan to take daily, low dose Cialis, because it also helps with prostate and being able to more fully empty one's bladder. (Plus I think my wife will like it, if ya know what I mean.) Anyway...thanks for the info, and glad to hear you're not anti TRT. Speaking of which, do you have any videos debunking the idea that low carb diets somehow lower T-levels?? I know a lot of people in the fitness blogosphere have been quick to point out Dr. Shawn Baker's low T levels, but I'm nonetheless very skeptical of the idea that a low carb diet lowers T levels. I just can't prove I'm right though. It may not matter for those of us on exogenous TRT, since that largely shuts down natural T-production anyway, but it does obviously matter for guys wanting to maximize T-levels naturally. Ok...done rambling!
I have been down your path. My advice is just use enough TRT to reach higher end of normal levels. No more. Make sure you control estrogen (which rises during TRT) the true cause of enlarged prostates.
Had not thought about this, but I have noticed that 8 months into this keto diet I have begun to notice that I am sleeping all night now without having to get up and go to the bathroom. Notice how I dont dribble any longer, am now like a racehorse in the morning, so to speak. Lots better. Also am getting up at 4-5.00 am and getting back in the house between 8-9:00 oclock at night. Energy levels are tremendous, dont seem to get tired, but when I do its agood kind of tired, if you know what I mean. I cant believe how my mind is running like a runaway freight train. Am building a new 18x52 building by myself, will have it under roof in a few short days. By the way I'm 66 years old. Thank you for watching out for us.
All power to you man. I'm nearly 66 and my story is so similar to yours. I went from a 90gk sedentary fat slob to a 64 kg lean mean, dancing machine, and look around 40. Dance for 2 - 3 hours 4 - 5 nights a week with fantastic social results, including meeting attractive women .. say no more.
My grandfather's friend had his prostate removed back in 2010. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer and they used the da Vinci robot to remove it. He said it was the best thing he did. He doesn't have to get up during the night and he sleeps well.
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.
Thanks Dr Berry for posting such clearly stated and helpful information on BPH. It has been very helpful in my healing progress and I use your 7 steps in all my conversations with any doctor I am seeing these days, “insulin” is the growth hormone and sugar is the culprit! Quick question if you have time, your thoughts on the Rezum Treatment. Thanks again, you’ve had a very positive impact on my life!
I'm 57 and am prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. I do notice that I pee much easier for about 4 days after my shot. After that until I get my next shot at the 7 day mark it becomes more restrictive.
@@jeffconsiglio1307 please respond back to here after you get on your TRT. I’m curious if it seems to help other guys as well. It’s not drastic but it is noticeable to me.
As always, thanks for the information! Just a couple questions, first what would the ideal carbohydrate intake be per day? And secondly, are there any fruits you could recommend that would substitute for the high sugar of say oranges, apples, etc.?
Thank you. Would love to see more videos on the zero carb/carnivore diet and its benefits. Thinking this will heal many people from the crappy diets we’ve been eating for so long from bad advice.
I am 35 and I have prostate grade 2, this condition was deducted 3 years back, I have thyroid imbalance for this I am taking thyroxin 50mcg since 13 years with medication my thyroid levels stay under control, and my family has history with diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol etc. My cholesterol is also on higher side but not too much, I want to know if there is any danger signs for having enlarged prostate in early age, also since few months I feel uncomfortable with it, I already made checkup with my doctor but he said this has happen due to my high stress level, can stress be a factor in this also my body weight has increased during pandemic lockdowns
I gave up all poultry (eggs chicken,turkey) Lots of hormones in them now.. Red meat. ( I really miss that ). Eat a lots of salmon ,tuna sardines and other fish. Lots of greens, broccoli asparagus spinach etc.. My numbers dropped 15% in 30 days. My Dr canceled a biopsy for 6 months for a wait and see. He never once mentioned anything about diet.... THANK GOD FOR U-TUBE.. Loss some weight to boot.. never went hungry thats for sure
There is no money in the cure or telling you to eat certain foods...changing your diet...I will say this very important thing...there is a new 2018 study in Canada that shows a definitive consensus that drinking beer for many many years brings up the risk of Prostate cancer....google it, it’s a Canadian study...its interesting because for years the national cancer society never suggested that alcohol could cause prostate problems later on in life ...alcohol consumption does automatically strip all your Immune fighting B vitamins and causes a grunt on your system...
I had no idea. I use to live a healthy ancestral diet of fish and meat. My diet changed overtime. Im stage 4 prostate cancer with mets to spine at 78. Oncologist will not give me chemo or radiation but they want me to go on Zytiga. We've cut all sweeteners our now listening to you Ill also cut carbs. What else can I do. Loved your video. From Nz.
Hi Dr Berry. In another video you said prostate will shrink? Mine is very large & I am praying to not have Turp as it is about all urologist was willing to do & after being given a not needed biopsy I don't trust anybody.
Cheese and dairy, not including butter and cream, will make my prostate ache. Also hotdogs, (haven't had one for 25 years now)... It takes a while for it to build up, not an immediate reaction...
Im 49. When i stop going to the gym for a few week my stream is impaired. Lift weights for 1 day. The next day i have full stream. Its the testosterone. YOU MUST LIFT WEIGHTS. It keeps the T high so stream is firehoze again. I have tested 8 times now. Works every single time.
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.

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?
I started carnivore 3 weeks ago lost 11 pounds then stalled. I also experienced moderate prostatitis pains. I have made adjustments. Cut out dairy 100% I have been suffering with BPH for years. Was able to manage with saw palmetto and cranberry extract. But this time nothing would control it. I introduced green tea last week I don't want to take ace inhibitors
Very interesting, I'm 68 and have been doing daily cardio and weight training for 50 years and have never had prostate issues and sleep through the night without getting up to pee. I also take a daily prostate formula supplement which all men should take and I believe you should make a video on prostate supplements because they are a good first line defense against BPH.
@Joseph Calabria There are so many supplements that are good for the prostate but I'll narrow it down to the four I think are the best....Pygeum, Beta Sitosterol, pumpkin seed oil/extract and zinc. You need to give it a week or two for it to really kick in and be sexually inactive because you don't want your prostate to be over working during the healing process, hope this helps.
Guys, if you suffer from psoriasis, eczema, inflammation, prostate and constipation issues, and you also drink a A LOT of coffee, try this for a few days. DROP the coffee. You might be amazed at the results.
Hi Doc, I have the dreaded BPH. It would be awesome if it could be reversed. 15 m Keto at 73 and my psa last test was reduced. Thanks again for another great video. Grandad John
If you investigate I suspect you will find those people are vegans who have managed to politicize even food. For them it's not about health, it's about 'animal cruelty'. Their definition of 'cruelty' is different from normal folks though. We see it as poor/abusive treatment of farm animals. To them, it also includes the mere killing and consumption of animals.
There is a lot of ignorance that has been going on in this subject for decades. When people start hearing how different Keto is, then they are just arguing what they were taught beforehand. And there are also vegans.
@@greymetamorphosis Thanks for commenting. I'm so glad we got you here. I'm being dead serious. There must be something about Keto that has intrigued you enough to watch Dr. Berry's videos. Care to elaborate on your previous statement and why you believe that?
Is there a link between increased insulin and the conversion of testosterone into DHT, which is usually considered to be the major cause of increased prostate and hair loss in men?
Corn is all GMO. Stay away from it. Original Corn is 3 times the size of the kernel but the stalk is 1/5th the size of what we have today. They crossbread the corn for more money just like the wheat.
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
Jason Stanley Dr. Berry did a video on magnesium a while back; you might find it helpful. I was having a lot of muscle cramping in my legs which improved dramatically with a magnesium supplement. Hope this helps.
Rick Deegan stop ejaculating for a few months and do kegals. Enlarge prostate is like diabetes of the prostate. It’s an over worked gland just like the pancreas is to diabetes. Rest the gland and do kegals.
@Rick Deegan doing "nothing" is a stong statement, have strong kegal muslces is linked to healthy sex drive and prostate,. it may not fix the problem but it sure can to it to another level. i get rock hard erections and i can last forever in bed, and it doesn't take me 5 minutes to piss. and yes diet is a huge if not the biggest factor.

Hi doctor, I have a related question. On the Keto diet while fasting 20 hours, and you experience that shaky low blood sugar feeling, does that also mean that your insulin level is too low or is it that the pancreas isn’t doing it’s job? How can that be fixed while sticking to the plan?
Just came across your question ages ago looking for a response in chats. Doctor Ken Berry is a carnivore, you couldn't possibly do the fasting on a standard American diet without going insane and drops in blood sugar. As a carnivore, we have no UP or down, always flat. We ingest high amounts of fat in the meats, butter, bacon or whatever the food might be, and ALWAYS saturated fats. If your body is in carb burning mode, your bloody sugar will be all over the place. If in fat burning mode for energy like carnivores are, the fat we ingest and body fat that we may have provides a constant supply of energy. The body MAKES carbs as required when burning fat as fuel. Hope you are well, and maybe if we are lucky, you've been a carnivore over the last few years and already know and experience this...
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!
I like and agree with what you say, and the fact that it clear and concise. My problem is that I'm getting conflicting information regarding a healthy diet. Some say (including a video I watched prior to yours on the same subject) that a healthy diet includes fresh fruit and vegetables, along with rolled oats. Sounds like a high carb diet, although healthier than the typical REFINED carbs that so many Americans eat. As a severe reactive hypoglycemic I went off all refined carbs for nearly 10 years. I still keep them to a minimum. Several years ago I developed non cancerous BPH. My doctor has recommended surgery. I have modified my diet to include thing like certain berries and nuts, and a lot of broccoli, and have been using supplements for a year. I still have to take Flomax to minimize my symptoms. Can you give me some specific dietary recommendations Thank you, Patrick
This is what our world needs. Doctors that know that nutrition and bad lifestyle choices cause problems with the prostate and many lifestyle illnesses.
Dr. Berry, have you addressed the topic of choline and high PSA numbers? If so, could you point me to the correct video? If you haven't addressed it yet, would you consider doing so in an upcoming video? I ask for my dad because I (female) have several genetic markers that show I need to supplement choline, b12, b2, folate, and betaine. I mentioned to my dad that he had a 50% chance of needing to eat more eggs too, and he told me that his PSA numbers were too high when he ate eggs. I'm finding conflicting research on this topic, and I'd like to learn more. Thanks in advance.
catlinhollow I take choline myself, but for gallbladder. I cut carbs to 20-30 daily, cut bad sugars. I’ve lost 18 pounds and working out too. I feel so much better.
It’s an interesting idea because I’m 67 and have had a high testosterone level of over 800 which was flagged in one of my lab tests. Yet at my age I have no prostate difficulties yet.
Byi Za I just try to follow conventional wisdom. Healthy serving of fruits and veggies fish chicken and occasional red meat and a daily multivitamin. Lots of nuts almonds and peanuts.
Since going keto i have been able to urinate with a more stronger flow rate. I also wake up with morning wood most mornings. Never used to be the case. Someone should do a wood study... Keto wood vs carb flacidity

Thank you very much John!!
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.)
try the diet first. there is downside to the laser surgery as well. last resort

@@baranjan4172 Pumping me full of antibiotics was the first thing they tried actually. Didn't seem to help though. My insides were jacked for months after that. Now its onto the stronger NSAIDs, muscle relaxers and "continuing with the lifestyle changes". Which unfortunately means playing about 90% less drums, sitting on special pads, and just doing a lot of standing. Staying away from the grains seems to help to, so there is something to that for sure. Been on that track for a while now, but it's easy to slip up. It's rough when the few things you enjoy doing in life end up causing you misery. Thank you for your concern and attentiveness Baran. It's a new year! Hears to it being better than the last!!

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 🤗

Hi Dr. Berry - I learn a lot from your videos, you are great at explaiing the conditions and causes but you spend little time or just rush to the fixes and/or preventive practices, foods, alternative medicines, etc. It would be helpful if you share charts or list of the things you recommend for us to try. Respectfully. Thank you.
Enlarged Prostate is no joke, it can lead to severe kidney problems and/or Erectile Dysfunction. Let's reverse it!
KenDBerryMD Dr Berry after a fast and then proceeding to eat spicy foods ...like spicy sausages... I’ve had in the past digestive issues like severely irritated anus or rectum and somewhat heavy straining issues and some diarrhea and it feels like the area is just experiencing inflammation....does the prostrate get affected also? Cause some times it feels like it might cause I feel like urinating even when I don’t actually pee anything out... the prostrate location is nearby isn’t it? That’s why I wonder if eating spicy foods that overwhelm the colon might also effect the prostrate and if so is this transitory condition a problem. Sorry for this gross question...I’m wondering if I’m more sensitive to spicy foods now that I’m Keto and Carnivore like in my diet choices... I like spicy foods and want to know if I can still eat them but I’ve been hesitant cause I wonder if I should be eating them with something to help keep from irritating my intestines. Cheers! :-)
My husband had his levels checked and doctor said it was normal and gave him the blue pill. He's lost weight every where, still has a beer gut. Or as he says bun in the oven. LOL. He follows keto. So I'm thinking he still has I.R he's not diabetic. He says he feels like he's masculinity is gone. We don't know what to do.
Keto is definitely not for everyone, I actually started getting these symptoms ON Keto and am now slowly working healthy carbs back into my life.
Why does taking too much testosterone cause enlarged prostate ?
@@hoboditch3093 it doesn't. Having too little may.
I have occasionally had flow problems presumably from an enlarged prostate. I think it may be a sign of body inflammation, as my psoriasis is also worse. I am recovering from ankle surgery. I supplement with saw palmetto twice a day, and it really makes a difference.
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.

I eat low carb or keto for much of the last 7 yrs but it hasnt reversed my BPH.
But i also practice IF and find myself eating or drinking calories in my 6 hr eating window about 3 x each so maybe my insulin is still too high for 6 hrs a day to help my prostate return to normal?
@@ponyboykurtis4645 I've been a vegetarian for 50 years, my doctor told me I'm in the 1% of healthiest people he sees. Paleo, keto are unproven diets when YOU are personally on that diet for 50 years THEN tell me it's the perfect diet, right now you're eating a theory. Vegetarianism has been studied for centuries, our ancestors lived into their 30's. We know the vegetarian diet is a LONG range healthy diet, again, keto is a theory diet. Come back after two hundred years of it being studied.
Steel cut oats is one of the best foods you can eat and it's very low on the glycemic index. Look it up, let's not confuse healthy carbs with junk food.

My father died of prostate cancer. He was never overweight in fact he had good abs into his 70s, he died aged 76.

Congrats. Your stats mirror mine.
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!
I guess biopsies pay good money.

@@1rocknroy Yes they do.
To be transparent a WFPB diet causes a drop in PSA as well. One that remains.
Great topic! I was placed on Doxazosin for high blood pressure and urinary control/impulse issues supposedly caused by BPE over 5 years ago. Prostate was never actually checked. 🤷♂️ My blood pressure never improved, but the urinary issues did. Doctor increased dosage and added Lisinopril. 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.

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.
My suggestion is to not make every video about the exact same solution / topic :( otherwise, there’s no additional new information
Thank you and appreciate your desire to help and provide natural solutions and health .
Great advice - thanks Dr Berry; diagnosed with prostate cancer and did not agree to the hormone therapy.
Hi! Sorry to hear this. What happened next? What course of action did you take?
My brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer earlier in the year, psa shot up to over 9. Doctor gave him one shot of hormone therapy, when i found out I gave him my copy of Dr. Berry's book and helped him get into keto as fast as he could. His last psa was 0.9!!! when he stopped all treatment from the cancer Docs, he took quite a bit of flack. his last checkup showed no signs of enlarged prostate or growth. He's very happy now that he didn't go through with the surgery and chemo/radiation that was being pushed on him like a bullies in the schoolyard. They made him have a biopsy early in the diagnoses so he still needs to get a MRI to see if any cancer was deposited /spread elsewhere from that unnecessary surgery.

The cancer did not spread and the mri report said the risk is low but the dr insisted to do hormone therapy or surgery. I forgot about it not worth the side effects.

Which never made sense, since, as you pointed out in the video, we have no issues with the prostate during the time of life when our T-levels are HIGHEST. Yet we get a big ole swollen prostate during the time in life when T is much lower.
This video also confirms my hunch that insulin (and perhaps excess IGF, as a result of too much insulin?) plays the primary role in enlarged prostate.
I currently pee all day and all night long. Sometimes 5 to 6 times a night. So, I really want to cure this issue. But I also want to get on TRT. So, it's nice to know the TRT won't exacerbate my prostate issues.
I've been doing a half-ass version of low carb for many years, but this motivates me to go very strict low carb, and high fat. Maybe even full-blown carnivore at some point. Because not having to pee all night, and actually being able to get some sleep, would literally be life changing for me.
I also plan to take daily, low dose Cialis, because it also helps with prostate and being able to more fully empty one's bladder. (Plus I think my wife will like it, if ya know what I mean.)
Anyway...thanks for the info, and glad to hear you're not anti TRT.
Speaking of which, do you have any videos debunking the idea that low carb diets somehow lower T-levels??
I know a lot of people in the fitness blogosphere have been quick to point out Dr. Shawn Baker's low T levels, but I'm nonetheless very skeptical of the idea that a low carb diet lowers T levels. I just can't prove I'm right though.
It may not matter for those of us on exogenous TRT, since that largely shuts down natural T-production anyway, but it does obviously matter for guys wanting to maximize T-levels naturally.
Ok...done rambling!
How was your TRT experience? I ask because i am about to begin my own TRT soon.
I have been down your path. My advice is just use enough TRT to reach higher end of normal levels. No more. Make sure you control estrogen (which rises during TRT) the true cause of enlarged prostates.
I think high dairy diet or excessive caffeine intake may contribute to enlargement.
Dairy being full of estrogen. Try goat milk instead.
Had not thought about this, but I have noticed that 8 months into this keto diet I have begun to notice that I am sleeping all night now without having to get up and go to the bathroom. Notice how I dont dribble any longer, am now like a racehorse in the morning, so to speak. Lots better. Also am getting up at 4-5.00 am and getting back in the house between 8-9:00 oclock at night. Energy levels are tremendous, dont seem to get tired, but when I do its agood kind of tired, if you know what I mean. I cant believe how my mind is running like a runaway freight train. Am building a new 18x52 building by myself, will have it under roof in a few short days. By the way I'm 66 years old. Thank you for watching out for us.
All power to you man. I'm nearly 66 and my story is so similar to yours. I went from a 90gk sedentary fat slob to a 64 kg lean mean, dancing machine, and look around 40. Dance for 2 - 3 hours 4 - 5 nights a week with fantastic social results, including meeting attractive women .. say no more.
My grandfather's friend had his prostate removed back in 2010. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer and they used the da Vinci robot to remove it. He said it was the best thing he did. He doesn't have to get up during the night and he sleeps well.
What about sex.
Nothing to worry about.
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.
Fantastic 🕺🏾😎👍🏽
Cheers
Thanks Dr Berry for posting such clearly stated and helpful information on BPH. It has been
very helpful in my healing progress and I use your 7 steps in all my conversations with any doctor I am seeing these days, “insulin” is the growth hormone
and sugar is the culprit! Quick question if you have time, your thoughts on the Rezum Treatment. Thanks again, you’ve had a very positive impact on my life!
I'm 57 and am prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. I do notice that I pee much easier for about 4 days after my shot. After that until I get my next shot at the 7 day mark it becomes more restrictive.
@@jeffconsiglio1307 please respond back to here after you get on your TRT. I’m curious if it seems to help other guys as well. It’s not drastic but it is noticeable to me.
Spilt your dose to twice a week. Far better.
As always, thanks for the information! Just a couple questions, first what would the ideal carbohydrate intake be per day? And secondly, are there any fruits you could recommend that would substitute for the high sugar of say oranges, apples, etc.?
Thank you. Would love to see more videos on the zero carb/carnivore diet and its benefits. Thinking this will heal many people from the crappy diets we’ve been eating for so long from bad advice.
Watched this video with my husband. We thank you for the info!
I am 35 and I have prostate grade 2, this condition was deducted 3 years back, I have thyroid imbalance for this I am taking thyroxin 50mcg since 13 years with medication my thyroid levels stay under control, and my family has history with diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol etc. My cholesterol is also on higher side but not too much, I want to know if there is any danger signs for having enlarged prostate in early age, also since few months I feel uncomfortable with it, I already made checkup with my doctor but he said this has happen due to my high stress level, can stress be a factor in this also my body weight has increased during pandemic lockdowns
Im same age as you, how are you doing? God bless.
Thanks, for the nice video
You know what Ken for me even when I was in my twenties drinking alcohol as always kind of affecting my prostate
Is prostate drainage for chronic prostatitis really just masturbation? *How Prostate Cured Total* 👉 *For more information My Profile In About* Or Bio
Is there a ball park length of time for the reversal of enlarged prostrate when following a Keto diet and lowering your insulin levels?
I went to a urologist who NEVER talked about diet!
He knows what side his toast is buttered on !!!
I went to a urologist and he NEVER mentioned diet. Amazing.
I gave up all poultry (eggs chicken,turkey) Lots of hormones in them now.. Red meat. ( I really miss that ). Eat a lots of salmon ,tuna sardines and other fish. Lots of greens, broccoli asparagus spinach etc.. My numbers dropped 15% in 30 days. My Dr canceled a biopsy for 6 months for a wait and see. He never once mentioned anything about diet.... THANK GOD FOR U-TUBE.. Loss some weight to boot.. never went hungry thats for sure
There is no money in the cure or telling you to eat certain foods...changing your diet...I will say this very important thing...there is a new 2018 study in Canada that shows a definitive consensus that drinking beer for many many years brings up the risk of Prostate cancer....google it, it’s a Canadian study...its interesting because for years the national cancer society never suggested that alcohol could cause prostate problems later on in life ...alcohol consumption does automatically strip all your Immune fighting B vitamins and causes a grunt on your system...
@@daveschidlmeier6425 Good for you, don't forget to minimize or eliminate milk if you can.
I had no idea. I use to live a healthy ancestral diet of fish and meat. My diet changed overtime. Im stage 4 prostate cancer with mets to spine at 78. Oncologist will not give me chemo or radiation but they want me to go on Zytiga. We've cut all sweeteners our now listening to you Ill also cut carbs. What else can I do. Loved your video. From Nz.
Every time I fast for st least 36 hours my prostate feels better. Flow is stronger and less restrictive, and I don’t feel the needles of inflammation.
Needles of inflammation?
@@dannymartinez8522 He means inflammation related to sugar in the body. It is real.
What's your update for the last 10 months on this situation? Did you cure it completely through fasting?
Nowdays.... The real sages and saviours are the doctors like you. Thank you so much 🥰
good to see you address mens issues, these days mens issues are deemed unimportant and womens issues are deemed important , thanks ken
Hi Dr Berry. In another video you said prostate will shrink? Mine is very large & I am praying to not have Turp as it is about all urologist was willing to do & after being given a not needed biopsy I don't trust anybody.
Cheese and dairy, not including butter and cream, will make my prostate ache. Also hotdogs, (haven't had one for 25 years now)... It takes a while for it to build up, not an immediate reaction...
So butter is OK to eat ?
Thanks doctor
Im 49. When i stop going to the gym for a few week my stream is impaired.
Lift weights for 1 day. The next day i have full stream. Its the testosterone.
YOU MUST LIFT WEIGHTS. It keeps the T high so stream is firehoze again.
I have tested 8 times now. Works every single time.
mjs1231 0
Do you lift heavy or moderate? How long do you workout 1 hour?
Yep that is so true.
I really appreciate this guys consistency.
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.
ClissaT elevated insulin causes laminitis(founder) in geldings but never seen enlarged prostate in a gelding Kind Regards John Stewart BVSc Hons MRCVS , veterinary Surgeon
Your opinion doesn’t count Doc., because you are a male.
@@johnstewartvet With little testosterone there is also little estrogen the cause of BPH.
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?
Thank you Doctor
God bless you!!!
I started carnivore 3 weeks ago lost 11 pounds then stalled. I also experienced moderate prostatitis pains. I have made adjustments. Cut out dairy 100% I have been suffering with BPH for years. Was able to manage with saw palmetto and cranberry extract. But this time nothing would control it. I introduced green tea last week
I don't want to take ace inhibitors
Very interesting, I'm 68 and have been doing daily cardio and weight training for 50 years and have never had prostate issues and sleep through the night without getting up to pee. I also take a daily prostate formula supplement which all men should take and I believe you should make a video on prostate supplements because they are a good first line defense against BPH.
@Joseph Calabria There are so many supplements that are good for the prostate but I'll narrow it down to the four I think are the best....Pygeum, Beta Sitosterol, pumpkin seed oil/extract and zinc. You need to give it a week or two for it to really kick in and be sexually inactive because you don't want your prostate to be over working during the healing process, hope this helps.
What supplements or formula do you take? Thanks in advance!
Some say butter has growth factors that can contribute to BPH. Is that true?
Guys, if you suffer from psoriasis, eczema, inflammation, prostate and constipation issues, and you also drink a A LOT of coffee, try this for a few days. DROP the coffee. You might be amazed at the results.
Could You give your opinion concerning the Carnivore diet and Prostrate cancer?
Do Carnivore and take Fenbendazole
Hi Doc, I have the dreaded BPH. It would be awesome if it could be reversed. 15 m Keto at 73 and my psa last test was reduced. Thanks again for another great video. Grandad John
Is bio-identical T is better or safer than my doc RX T in injection form?
Hey Dr. Berry! Why is there so much hate towards Keto Diet / LCHF? People get VERY dogmatic and aggressive about it, saying negative things about it.
If you investigate I suspect you will find those people are vegans who have managed to politicize even food. For them it's not about health, it's about 'animal cruelty'. Their definition of 'cruelty' is different from normal folks though. We see it as poor/abusive treatment of farm animals. To them, it also includes the mere killing and consumption of animals.
There is a lot of ignorance that has been going on in this subject for decades. When people start hearing how different Keto is, then they are just arguing what they were taught beforehand. And there are also vegans.
Because it sucks, it's great for healing the body and losing weight but thats about it.
@@greymetamorphosis Thanks for commenting. I'm so glad we got you here. I'm being dead serious. There must be something about Keto that has intrigued you enough to watch Dr. Berry's videos. Care to elaborate on your previous statement and why you believe that?
@@greymetamorphosis Thank you for pointing out why it's a GREAT way of eating.
Hey Doc how do I reduce my PSA number. Thank you.
Is there a link between increased insulin and the conversion of testosterone into DHT, which is usually considered to be the major cause of increased prostate and hair loss in men?
Too much sex.
Very helpful information, thank you. So, maintaining low blood sugar is the answer.
Top ingredient or near top in dog food is corn.
It couldn’t be worse or more deceptive as a “science” diet funded by Purina.
Wrong plant base high carbs carb diet You are so wrong
Corn is all GMO. Stay away from it. Original Corn is 3 times the size of the kernel but the stalk is 1/5th the size of what we have today. They crossbread the corn for more money just like the wheat.
And Purina owns Jack in the Box
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
Jason Stanley Dr. Berry did a video on magnesium a while back; you might find it helpful. I was having a lot of muscle cramping in my legs which improved dramatically with a magnesium supplement. Hope this helps.
I heard Potassium, found in green leafy vegetable, or as a supplement, helps leg cramps
The Carnivore diet significantly helped my prostate issues....
Is prostate inlargement different from prostate cancer?
Can any if you summarize the diet? Please i need it
Please make more videos on this under talk about topic, Thanks do much for all the great information.

Rick Deegan stop ejaculating for a few months and do kegals. Enlarge prostate is like diabetes of the prostate. It’s an over worked gland just like the pancreas is to diabetes. Rest the gland and do kegals.
@Rick Deegan doing "nothing" is a stong statement, have strong kegal muslces is linked to healthy sex drive and prostate,. it may not fix the problem but it sure can to it to another level. i get rock hard erections and i can last forever in bed, and it doesn't take me 5 minutes to piss. and yes diet is a huge if not the biggest factor.
@Rick Deegan how long did u fast?
Your my doctor. Thanks
I found that two lemons a day in alkaline water let's me go with out any problems at all !
The lemons are going to acidify your alkaline water. That's basic Chemistry. So might as well just use lemons in clean filtered water.
What is your update after 11 months.? Throw us a bone!!!
@@seekingthetruth304 in the body the action of the lemons is that it alkalinize the body ( it lowers the ph!).
@@vadergrd but a lower pH means something is MORE acidic. Bottom line for me is I know lemon water is good for me. I love it with Apple cider vinegar too..
@@seekingthetruth304 my mistake! i was just saying the effect in the body for citrus is not acidity. thanks!
Hi Dr Berry, Jamie from Australia, great information Sir, thank you 🤝👍
Hi doctor, I have a related question. On the Keto diet while fasting 20 hours, and you experience that shaky low blood sugar feeling, does that also mean that your insulin level is too low or is it that the pancreas isn’t doing it’s job? How can that be fixed while sticking to the plan?
Just came across your question ages ago looking for a response in chats. Doctor Ken Berry is a carnivore, you couldn't possibly do the fasting on a standard American diet without going insane and drops in blood sugar. As a carnivore, we have no UP or down, always flat. We ingest high amounts of fat in the meats, butter, bacon or whatever the food might be, and ALWAYS saturated fats. If your body is in carb burning mode, your bloody sugar will be all over the place. If in fat burning mode for energy like carnivores are, the fat we ingest and body fat that we may have provides a constant supply of energy. The body MAKES carbs as required when burning fat as fuel. Hope you are well, and maybe if we are lucky, you've been a carnivore over the last few years and already know and experience this...
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!
Thank you Doctor Berry We Love Ya!!!
I like and agree with what you say, and the fact that it clear and concise. My problem is that I'm getting conflicting information regarding a healthy diet. Some say (including a video I watched prior to yours on the same subject) that a healthy diet includes fresh fruit and vegetables, along with rolled oats. Sounds like a high carb diet, although healthier than the typical REFINED carbs that so many Americans eat. As a severe reactive hypoglycemic I went off all refined carbs for nearly 10 years. I still keep them to a minimum. Several years ago I developed non cancerous BPH. My doctor has recommended surgery. I have modified my diet to include thing like certain berries and nuts, and a lot of broccoli, and have been using supplements for a year. I still have to take Flomax to minimize my symptoms. Can you give me some specific dietary recommendations Thank you, Patrick
Watch dr Biswaroop diet videos or dr berg diet videos ,fasting helps too, praise god daily to keep mind positive
What about zinc levels per Dr. Andrew Saul, "DoctorYourself" ?
This is what our world needs. Doctors that know that nutrition and bad lifestyle choices cause problems with the prostate and many lifestyle illnesses.
Been on low carb for 8 weeks amazing difference in this area. The video explains much. Also I like your book which I bought.
Low carb is ok in the short term but is not sustainable nor should it be.
Dr. Berry, have you addressed the topic of choline and high PSA numbers? If so, could you point me to the correct video? If you haven't addressed it yet, would you consider doing so in an upcoming video? I ask for my dad because I (female) have several genetic markers that show I need to supplement choline, b12, b2, folate, and betaine. I mentioned to my dad that he had a 50% chance of needing to eat more eggs too, and he told me that his PSA numbers were too high when he ate eggs. I'm finding conflicting research on this topic, and I'd like to learn more. Thanks in advance.
catlinhollow I take choline myself, but for gallbladder. I cut carbs to 20-30 daily, cut bad sugars. I’ve lost 18 pounds and working out too. I feel so much better.
PC is so controversial not even Dr Berry wants to enter that quagmire
It’s an interesting idea because I’m 67 and have had a high testosterone level of over 800 which was flagged in one of my lab tests. Yet at my age I have no prostate difficulties yet.
Joseph Hypolite high estrogen causes prostate problems not high testosterone
No and you won't. Testosterone if anything protects the prostate.
What’s your diet
Byi Za I just try to follow conventional wisdom. Healthy serving of fruits and veggies fish chicken and occasional red meat and a daily multivitamin. Lots of nuts almonds and peanuts.
What happens if you've already been diagnosed with prostate cancer? Can the carnivore or keto way of eating help reverse this? Have any benefit?
Since going keto i have been able to urinate with a more stronger flow rate. I also wake up with morning wood most mornings. Never used to be the case. Someone should do a wood study... Keto wood vs carb flacidity
Haha same!
You lucky fuck, complete opposite over here. I just went back to healthy carbs cause keto destroyed my libido and I'm not having it.
ammaad1972 this is really great news. Thanks.
Same here. Less dribbling, waking up at night too. I even went a three-hour road trip without having to stop one time
