My husband died 10 weeks ago of prostate cancer, he was diagnosed at age 48! He died aged 62 and they said because he was healthy, never been overweight, never smoked and had normal insulin levels that’s why he lasted so long. He even did a 100 mile bike ride and went windsurfing in the middle of his chemo treatment 💪🏼 It also has to do with genes....his dad died of prostate cancer at 65. I don’t know what I’m going to do without him 😢
😢 Sorry for your loss. May God grant you peace and comfort.
feel so sorry for you!!
Sorry for your loss
God bless you. he sounds like a hero
I don’t have the words sweetheart . Draw close to God and He will draw close to you . Love and peace ✌️
I don’t think I will EVER talk to a doctor again about ANYTHING! I think of Ken Berry as a Healer not a doctor. Thank you for your honesty.

Can we still live a life or must we afoid breathing also
@@raymondschuit520 The way I see it, keto and fasting is great if you struggle with obesity. Once you reach a healthy weight, you can reintroduce some carbs and have one cheat day per week.
I do all those and still have the same issues.
@@Airpaycheck Are you doing strict Keto? How many hours do you fast? How long have you been on the diet? What's your calorie intake?
Dr. Berry I am almost embarrassed by my quality medical education. Your videos are changing my life and the lives of my loved ones. I am considering doing a fellowship in Integrative Medicine and really digging into this TRUTH.
This has been amazing so far. Six months ago, I had problems with urinary retention because of a huge prostate stopping the urinary flow. And my stream was extremely weak in general. I was on a terrible diet. Then, I started Keto, and about 4 months ago, I started intermittent fasting (I'm doing 14-16 hours). Now, six months later, my stream has increased by maybe 40-50%, I don't have retention anymore, and instead of getting up about 3-4 times/night, I only get up once, and I sleep so much better. All this has also led to a healthy weight loss: I have lost 40lbs in 6 months, and I am almost at a normal BMI. So, the bottom line is, I know for a fact from firsthand experience that Dr. Berry is correct. I have proof of it! Thank you very much, Dr. Berry, for your life-changing advice and for your channel, which is actually life-saving in so many ways!
Thanks for posting
How many grams was your prostate, mine is 110 grams, my PSA is 11.63 and I am not over weight . I cannot urinate must use a catheter and I don’t want to see a doctor again. I live in France, in a small town of less than 6000. Plus I have no more money and I am 70 years old. Thank you from my heart heart to yours , Michael ❤️🎶🙏
@@MrJOHNMICHAELVEGA I don't know how much mine weighs, to be honest. My PSA fluctuates between 8 and 13, usually, but haven't checked it in about 6 months now. I could pee but sometimes had to double-void (empty as much as possible, wait 1/2 minute and try again). And sometimes, out of the blue, I got retention and had to go to the emergency room, until someone was kind enough to tell me I could self-catheter. Since then, I get free catheter samples from my urologist when needed. I haven't had retention in quite a while now, so I hope I won't have it again. I'm sorry about your condition. It's really a drag and very inconvenient. I take Flomax, which helps me, and Cialis, too, helps my condition. These in combination have helped me. But if you can't urinate at all, I doubt they will help. I am not a doctor, but it sounds like you need a surgery; something I would consider, if I were you, or discuss with a urologist. I know you don't have money for it unless you somehow can get help with that. If so, it's worth it! I would also do intermittent fasting, if I were you, if you're not already doing it, and go on a high fat Keto diet. That was what really helped me a lot! I wish you all the luck, and I know how difficult this is. Wish I could be of more help!
Amazing. Please share a list of foods you had on your diet.
Thanks Charli for sharing your experience. I am 65 Let me know your age to compare . I expect to get same result as you. Can you advice any Keto book or recipe thanks in advance
7 Steps: 1 No sugar 2 No grains 3 Avoid Soy products 4 Eat full fat dairy 5 Avoid seed based oils 6 Carnivore or Keto diet 7 Intermittent fasting Supplements: * Saw palmetto * Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) root * Pumpkin seed extract
Markets carry pumpkin seed oil..Giant food market
Ok❤
Please elaborate on 4th step where you say to eat full fat dairy
Pumpkin seeds definitely work, I'm living proof.
How much per day?
???
A handful every other day does the job for me. 6 years free of antibiotics for enlarged prostate symptoms.
@@bornagainsaint6923 when result start appear after eat pumking seeds
Update, 11 months carnivore; Have eliminated saw palmetto completely and my prostate/urinary symptoms have disappeared. I no longer miss hi-carb foods and only desire a high fat red meat diet. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!
we have no clue what your issue was 11 months ago ,,maybe you can include it
did your prostate get smaller??
But don't they put growth hormones in the meat so how can you help
What diet have you used? Any advice on eliminating sugars & carbs?
What do you eat on carnivore?
I had stomach discomfort that lead to an ultrasound x-ray, to a enlarged prostate, fatty pancreas and a fatty liver was also detected. I reached the age now in my sixties where my prostate became enlarged. After a year, I got my first prostate biopsy and much to my surprise and horror, cancer was spotted in two areas. I am told even though it’s cancer, we’re leaving it for now for another test in six months. I was on my Keto journey trying to reverse a fatty liver and the ultrasound found my enlarged prostate. Now that my weight Loss and the fatty liver has been. reversed, I am left here wondering about my future with the newly found cancer. It’s an early type but even one cancer cell is too much for me. The idea of waiting for this to spread is horrible. I lost about seventy pounds and the most recent ultrasound revealed a very cleared up liver and my pancreas now. It’s a win but not with the cancer present now. I remain on Keto, low carb for now. I never had a cheat meal in fourteen months on my journey although now that I am cleaned up and down to about 148 pounds now, 5’8 hight I forgot how to eat like I used to. I have zero desire for wheat, high carbohydrates or sugar. Certainly not in any mood to drink liquor. I have some days when I’ll eat a little more but within in the parameters of the Ketogenic guild lines. I sometimes think it’s easier to fast than to actually eat. Eating triggers more of an appetite and it’s much more difficult to try to keep that down. When I came near my goal, weight loss was nearly impossible. I had to alternate day fast with just one eating window. While I am thankful for my success, and all that I learned I am dispirited over my prostate cancer and I just wish they would remove it all out of me. I was doubtful that I could get cancer because it doesn’t run in my family but it doesn’t work that way. In life, we win and we lose. I will always want to stay in Keto. I am so accustomed now. I just need to learn the right measure for remaining at my weight loss. No gaining anymore because I know where the fat will get stored and once is enough! Thank you Dr KenDBerry and your lovely wife for all of your insightful education and support. I couldn’t have achieved my goal without your guidance. Best wishes, god bless! 😀
Studies seem to be showing that cancer cells can be generated at any age. When we are healthier (and younger, too) we fight them off more easily. My family has auto immune diseases, including cancer, some of which are suppressed by a Vitamin D3+K2 supplement, which I get at Walmart. A quick Google search suggests it may be helpful for prostate cancer, too. Talk to your doctor about it. Good luck.
Radiation therapy just cured my older brother also had some cancer spots. His PSA want from high 20s to 0.3
Look at seyfrieds book “Cancer As a Metabolic disease”. You are on the right path. 11:16
Fck is ur stomach discomfort from lower right abdomen? I hope u reply thanks
I'm 72, had an emlarged prostate for 10 years. I began keto one year ago. Four months after starting the diet, I went to a surgeon for hemheroid surgury. When he was examining the area of his future endeavors, he checked my prostate. He loudly proclaimed, "Your prostate is normal!" I'm sure he sees many elder men. I was that unusual. I'll take it. I then noticed that I pee like a young man again. I can hold urine for hours and hours without discomfort. I lost a dear friend to prostate cancer earlier this year. He was a marathon runner, ate vegitarian, occasional chicken, fish, and lots and lots of whole grains. I wish I knew about keto a couple/few years ago. It, as well as fasting, may have saved his life.
Can you pee with a boner? Can you still even get a boner?

@@clifforddsouza6209 You need to cut way back on added sugar, do a lot of walking, and get enough sleep at night. That should help slow down any problems.
Update!! I went on an eight days fast and stayed in ketosis, after 10 days my prostate shrank by 12 millimeters because of the ketosis which was enough to get rid of the catheter and making my life more pleasant. Also, now my prostate is shrinking between one and two millimeters per week while staying in ketosis. I really recommend you to try if you are having an enlarged prostate. Thank you for a very good advice!
How do you know it shrank 12 mm? And then, how do you know it's shrinking one to two millimeters per week?
@@dragnet1259I was just going to ask! How are you measuring that thing?
Good question
By ultra sound and the two millimeters per week is the average. Last month I had I lot of cheese and it it shrank between 1 and two millimeters so I will stop that and hopefully it will go faster @@dragnet1259
With ultrasound@@dragnet1259
Another fellow says almost the same thing. He's big on a modified keto diet. He got my attention when he talked about nighttime bathroom visits, which was killing my sleep. I decided not to go keto, but to go in that direction. I reduced my sugar, grain, and starch down to very little. And just 3 nights later, no more getting up to go urinate. And 3 weeks later, ED was noticeably improved. After about 3 months, my belt went from its largest setting to its smallest. Most of my fat is gone. Other things are improving too. All these things are disappearing much faster than they came, even though none of it was instant. Thank you for the information in this video. You give details I've not heard elsewhere, details which are very encouraging. Thank you.
Was he Dr.Berg?
I’m 65 and I had TURP surgery one year ago. As a molecular biologist having spent 15 years studying the insulin signaling pathway, I can say that your recommendations are exactly what I wish I had followed - instead of simply assuming “some guys get BPH, some don’t.” I urge any male reading this to immediately implement Dr Berry’s advice on diet (you REALLY won’t like life on a catheter while you await TURP surgery.....btw, you’ll have no sex with a catheter stuck up your poor weanie - nor for weeks after the surgery - so act now! And Dr Berry’s diet will save your heart and likely prevent cancer, too)
I think you comment is really brave! Greetings from Germany.
Hey bro....hii...BPH just started for me...i am taking tablets for the past 1 month....i just wanted to try this dude....can you plz help me...what kind of diet i need to be on and what should i be eating daily and for how long i should follow his diet?plzz reply...plzz i need help from you
@@chandubodapati700 I’m a very old retired scientist. Dr. Barry gives excellent advice. I have followed his recommendations with good results. However, I’m following Harvard’s Dr. David Sinclair’s molecular supplement diet for 10 months and getting excellent results in controlling blood sugar spikes as well as reversing my overall age. He has discovered how to reverse aging in mammals. Check him out on KZhead and/ or read his book on Longevity. I’ve watched hundreds of videos on this subject. I understand it at the cellular, molecular, atomic and subatomic levels. Good luck.
Yeah Buddy !

Hi, what about the rice?
@@Odium13 Rice is a grain and it is carbohydrate. Rice is a low cost food, following these rules isn't necessarily cheap.
Thank you, Dr. Berry. My father just turned 65 and just got alarming news from his urologist. He felt a hard mass on his prostate and his PSA was 8.8. He wants him to get a biopsy early next month. We obviously are very concerned it's the dirty "c" word, but we're trying to stay positive. Fortunately my mother has been watching doctors such as yourself and Dr. Mark Hyman and has put my dad on an aggressive healthier eating plan. Now if only I could get my 59yo husband on board with this.
Whether people get treated or not or diagnosed early or late has no bearing on life expectancy. The biopsy is just a pain in the you know what.
Saw palmetto, stinging nettle root, and pumpkin seed oil, I'm 61 and I started taking all three for my BPH, They did work quite well for me I went from a very difficult stream to one I haven't had in years. HOWEVER! you need to be patient! It took 3-to 4 weeks to see results! I am now reducing these herbs to every other day to see if it will maintain my results
Eric, what potency of each are you taking ?
@@petergutlovics4918 try 450 mg/ one cap of natures bounty saw palmetto 2 hours before bed. i used to get up 3 times a night and now i rarely get up at all. its so nice to sleep thru the night again. p.s. no after dinner coffee. thats a diuretic even saw palmeto cant stop.
Also try Swedish Flower Pollen. It works great but I can’t get it here in Germany. When I lived in US it worked so good.
I was on doxasosin for 3 years because I couldn't urinate. It worked a little. 2 months ago after 1 month keto and 2 months carnivore I started noticing more flow. Now, I'm 67 and I piss like I was 40 again. I threw the doxasosin away, as well as my blood pressure and acid reflux meds. I really do feel like I'm in my 40s again. I notice new improvements regularly.

Diet does make a difference. No wonder sugar is in everything. They want you guys to suffer.
Glad to hear, do you have issues with dairy like butter?
Pharmacy do cry now. No income.
Your story is just like mine. I lost 25 pounds on keto and went off my prostate meds, as well as high bp and acid reflux meds. I still get up twice at night but life is wonderful again.
Thankyou for this well documented and meaningful video.
wow. I'm 66 and for me it's just been 2 weeks and I'm definitely seeing great improvement. I cut out the sugar and reduced carbs by around 90%, don't like soy and never ate low fat dairy. I was already doing intermittent fasting and have continued to do that 3 times a week (for 15 hours). Frequency of having to go is about half (sleep all through the night now) and the intensity that I need to go has gone back to normal. Stream strength not 100% all the time yet, but I have confidence that this too will return to normal soon. (I continued to exercise most every day as well). Thanks!
Have any update? How are you now?
Wow, I’m also 66 and really suffer from this. Thanks for posting!
Please update
How are you now?
I’ve been arguing for this for years and people won’t listen, great video.
Their health does not mean anything to otherwise intelligent people. They would rather run to doctors for more prescriptions every week! It is nutty! I meet people I could have a friendship with, but they are killing themselves left and right eating all the beautiful desserts and casseroles and lining up at fast food places to buy the poison. What has and is happening to their bodies is distressing.
Very well done Presentation Dr Ken !! You rock !!
Thank you for all you do!
Exactly!! Spot on Dr.
Thank you Doctor! I'm patient and willing to put in the work!
Personal experience confirms what the doctor is saying: I've had a number of issues pop up around when I turned 53-54, prostrate problems being one of them, that went away when I changed my diet to low carb and employed intermittent fasting. More movement and exercise also works (weights not aerobics). No doctor recommended this because if it doesn't involve prescribing drugs most have no insight or answers: I had to research and initiate on my own; this channel has been helpful. This is my subjective experience and anecdotal but confirmed by the following: I've experienced a relapse and am now fighting an infection due to prostrate enlargement. Why? The lockdown has made it easier for me to cheat on my diet, less exercise and more inactivity due to gym closure, more sitting long hours at work, etc. Unintended consequences of this C19 fiasco. This deviation off the path has convinvced me to get back on point: low carb, IF and exercise. Love your channel Dr. Berry!
Bravo, you for sharing your confirmation of what worked for you. I will make sure my husband sees this. Today he has an appointment with a urologist. He is definitely not overweight - in fact needs to gain some - but he is open to the keto way, having seen how it helped me with other issues.
I have had exactly the same experience.
Thanks for this You Tube ! For 20 years I've had prostate symptoms, twice been catheterized because I could not urinate, had a PSA from 7-9, been biopsied and got an MRI. Then I watched your video. Boy was I motivated. In two weeks my life got so much easier. I'm happy to do without sweetened drinks, grains, candy and most fruits ( I tolerate ok low sugar fruits like cherries, raspberries and blueberries and apples ). I used to be up 3-5 times per night. Now it's 1-2. My life is no longer governed by bathroom breaks. And never once in 20 years of reading did anyone else mention the role of elevated insulin levels as a result of eating too many sugars and foods that convert to sugars. I thought that putting up with disabling prostate was just a part of life. It ain't so. I have you to thank for the change!
It is still rare for science or medicine to tell us the perils of eating sugar (and to a lesser degree, sugars) and we've know about it for 60 years. What a stranglehold!
How did you know when to discontinue the catheter? I am 110 grams, PSA 11.63 . Please let me know what else went on with your condition. Thank you from my heart to yours , Michael ❤️🎶🙏

Awsome! I'm happy for you and inspired.
Thanks for comment, gives me hope. I'm currently borderline overweight/obese. If you looked at me though you wouldn't think so, but BMI says I am. This problem started at around 55 and now 60 can not be ignored any longer. Almost had to go to hospital for catheter. Starting diet today, no sugar! Going to drop the weight and hoping it helps, really want to avoid surgery. Thanks again for comment and hope.

@@leosalas41ify YOU CAN DO IT ! IF works...started a week ago...16-8 dropped 2 LBS...
Hi Dr. Berry, I watched your video about a month ago and then started the elimination diet of processed sugar and grains. Most of my life I've had a terrible diet and it's a miracle that I am not a diabetic. I had cleaned up my diet over the last 10 years, but still ate grains, sugar and fast food in moderation. Since completely cutting out the sugar & grains I've seen numerous positive effects. I'm listing the positives here. 1) better bowel movements, 2) I used to have a lot of nasal drainage, that is now all but gone, 3) more mental clarity/less brain fog, 4) Warmer body temperature, (used to be cold frequently, especially in the evenings, that has improved immensely, 5) I’ve lost 15 pounds in four weeks, without even trying. 6) Less cravings, 7) Skin has improved. I have Rosacea and that has improved. Note: The first week on the diet was not easy, I felt like I had the flu and my energy was low. Week two got better and so on. Thanks. PS: Blood markers: Fasting blood sugar, before 89, after week one, 82; fasting insulin, one year ago 5.6 uIU/mL to 3.6 after one week on diet; HA1C, from 5.6 two months ago, to 5.3 after week one. My CO2 levels dropped as well, it was on the high end previously. Thanks.
Your knowledge base is beyond impressive! Thank You very much!
Thank you Dr. Berry. And now my journey begins .
Please share your journey.
Yes. Remember the ancient proverb: The journey of a lifetime begins with a long bathroom break.
Godspeed on your journey! May you find good health and happiness!

Nice one doc. Keep going.
I started following these recommendations at the beginning of January 2023. As I write this it's March 5, 2023. I haven't really noticed much of an effect on my urinary symptoms, but if it takes 12 months for this dietary approach to be effective I wasn't expecting much after two months. I'd like it if it got results after two months, but I wasn't expecting it. Where I have noticed results is in my weight. When I started I was at or approaching 260lbs. I'm now 225 and feel healthier in just about every way except I'm still peeing about once an hour. I'll just have to be patient and persistent about that. My poor bloated prostate, abused by years of assault by insulin and inflammatory seed oils, will need time to return itself to a healthy state.
Keep us posted!
Because it's not meant to work.
@@dustermcclean2517 What isn't meant to work? The dietary changes? Perhaps it's time for an update. I have had some improvement in symptoms. Five days after I changed my diet, EVERYTHING got worse. At night I was getting up every two hours to pee, and every 45-60 minutes during the day. By the third week of March - about two weeks after I posted the comment - I noticed my symptoms easing off a little. As we approach the middle of April 2023, at night I'm able to stay asleep 4-5 hours and during the day am currently having to pee every hour and a half to two hours. Which is still inconvenient, but I like that things are moving in the right direction.
@@dustermcclean2517 interested in your view if you can elaborate.
Time for another update. More than eight months in, that vile little organ remains a bit uncooperative. The improvement in symptoms I reported in April was short lived. Getting up to pee every 1.5 - 2.5 hrs has been the norm for most of the year. I'm not sure about time intervals during the day, because I need to keep my attention on the project at hand. I'll just say more often than I'd like. What has indisputably improved: My PSA is back down at a safe level, from 4s and 5s to about 2.5. I'm having a checkup next month and will be interested to see if the PSA remains that low. In March 2022, just before I underwent prostatic artery embolization (PAE), my prostate was 120ml. It's now a little over 90ml, although I don't know if that's due to the PAE procedure or the dietary changes. I don't seem to have problems with flow. I'm going to persist with the nutritional approach, because it has delivered other benefits (I'm now around 200 lbs, down from 260, and no longer pre-diabetic) The prostate is a temperamental organ that doesn't like its environment to change. It reacted aggressively when I reduced its blood flow (that's what PAE does), and it reacted aggressively when I reduced its supply of glucose. My guess is it pushed a couple lobes up into my bladder when the changes started. If so, perhaps they're in the process of hollowing out and will have to deflate sooner or later.
Excellent explanation! I think lots of doctors can learn from you. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
Great information as always, Thank you Doctor
Doc..keep up the great sincere work you were made for. Helping humanity.
Superb doctor! My uncle was suffering very much from this problem. Thanks a lot.
Thanks doc kenD Berry for the good info on BPH. God bless you.
Sharing is caring. Thank you.
Great info as always, Even though I don't know you I consider you one of my doctors.
Thanx Doc. Been on keto for 5 months and have lost my belly and 60 lbs. still got a ways to go but with diet I am seldom hungry and I often skip eating a day without hunger. And my ‘brain fog’ has gone. Trying to my wife and two daughters to get away from the sugar and carbs. But it is not just your diet advice but the many videos on other health problems and how they are linked to our diet. I am convince ‘big food’ and government have been killing us for more than fifty years. I intend to see if we can correct this. And doctors like you are helping educate the public on the error of our ways and the bad advice we have received for more than 59 years and that stats of our killer diseases prove that out with correlation to our change in diet and processed food. Keep up the great work. Thanx Wayne
Keep up the great work you're inspiring me, good luck with everything
Agree.Taking Saw Palmetto,Pumpkin Seed Extract and Nettle Extract were huge in helping me. You give advice that most urologist hide from their patients. Appreciate You and Thanks. Ret.E.R.Paramedic ⚕️🇺🇸
I've been on your seven step diet/lifestyle for about 5 months. My blood sugar and weight were up. Both are now much lower. I pretty much follow your seven steps. All my numbers are better, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc . I hope it helps my BPH too. I feel generally much better. Thanks for posting Doc!
Dr. Ken Berry...I am by no means a Dr....but I have studied the Keto diet for years and I LOVE that you are taking a stand against the fallacy that has been the current physician and dietician...as well as governmental dietary guidelines. You are a hero in my opinion. Keep telling the truth about nutrition!!!
agreed
@e james Beta Sitosterol, Pygeum , Pumpkin seed oil...Beta Sitosterol excellent for the inflammation.
Chad, sorry to correct you. KETO is not the answer. it is a low fat whole food planet based diet.. Our bodies don't like KETO, if you understand biochemistry and microbiology (microbiome) you understand how wrong KETO is and how it will kill you.
Sir. I wish I could like this comment A Thousand times.
@@randall1715 Are you saying KETO is a low fat, whole food, plant-based diet? What's wrong with that?
Dr. Berry, you are a life-saver for millions !! Thanks a million, Sir.
Thank you for this advice I will follow it immediately
I am glad, I clicked your video while searching for this subject. Man ! What a wonderful information & guidance ! Too good, I wish there were more doctors like you who wouldn't hesitate to educate their patients rather than hiding all the vast valuable information that you gave. Not enough words to thank you, God bless you
Excellent. Thank you. My MD said that I was getting fat, high BP and High cholesterol . He was going to give me all sorts of meds before Christmas. I saw a movie about Paleo diet. I did that, I eliminated all simple carbs, bread and such. Two months later I have lost almost 20 pounds , almost normal weight. I feel awesome. My Gut is gone, pants all really loose and falling off. I eat meat, vegetables, dairy, eggs, fish. I’m not hungry anymore. Two months of a strick diet is all it take, no extra excessive . I do eat bread once a week when I travel. Otherwise I’m feeling awesome. You sir are 100% correct on your thesis. Thank you Dave Mackenzie
Well done! What dairy did you have?
@@tomtomtom731 cheese.
Kerosene - see, the reason you are doing it is so that you can buy a new wardrobe!! Tricky.
Excellent content! Thank you! 😊
One of the best pieces of advice!
Your conclusion is reasonable, thank you.
I am 65 and now at a point of significant relief from BPH after about 7 months on healthy LCHF followed by 16 months on the carnivore diet. Add to that fasting, intermittent fasting and 2 years of plenty of physical exercise. Thanks for your many excellent recommendations, good doctor.
that's great to hear Torben I'm about the same age and doing exactly the same as you but have only been doing the keto part for about 2-3 months.. Already my lower back problems have started to significantly improve which I put down to keto and quite intensive Pilates
Hi i been suffer very badly of prostate problem , how do you do it, ? i am 57 and just had bladder infection made worse with prostate. i been taking a lot of supplement but not 100% good, and just start doing some yoga exercise yesterday i can see some inprovement .
What is LCHF?
@@klepp19 'low carb hi fat' which basically a ketogenic or carnivore way of eating
@@vidviewer100 Got it now! 😊
I went to a specialist today. This is very helpful and I will be doing everything you said.
It seems to be that avoiding Sugar is the key to fix almost the majority of the health problems in our society. It sounds a bit to easy on the first view but I tested it, I am on keto since mid of September and I am feeling good as never before. I tried it though my weight wasn´t really very hight. I started with 192cm / 91kg and I am now at 82-83kg. This is the optimal weight you can have with a size of 192cm. And I am 58 years old!
Dr Ken and fellow YT viewers. I just came across this video more or less out of curiosity and for the last four years I was struggling with an enlarged prostate between 7.2 to 7.5 On Any Given check up. Last year I decided to go completely vegetarian and also found out that I'm hyper glycemic. I completely modified my diet by out taking grains, carbohydrates and sugars. I'm also a swimmer and exercise on a regular basis 4 to 5 days a week. I also started fasting 2 to 3 days a week and significantly reduced the portions of my food. This past February I took another PSA blood test and my prostate is now down to 2.5. I couldn't believe it and I had him double check and it was an accurate reading. I told my urologist the dietary changes I had made. His comment eliminating sugar out of your diet I'll help on a lot of levels . He also said if you can reduce inflammation that will do nothing but help your prostate . Since February I've lost an additional 25 lb and only urinate once in the evening as opposed to two to three times a night like I used to. I can tell you what Dr. Ken is sharing in this video works , I'm living proof of it. It's even more interesting is that I've been doing everything he's talked about in this video and tonight I came across it for the first time and was blown away how accurate this information actually is. Feel free to reach out to me and ask questions, and yes I feel better than ever. Lastly, I just want to mention that going to a complete vegetarian vegan diet has been nothing but positive things for my life and for my health and well-being. I also do not consume any dairy, sugar or alcohol products whatsoever and if you're reading this, you obviously have some genuine interest in your own health. I hope what I've shared helps you and helps the viewers think twice about their diet and how they can improve their prostate health. Best to all of Gents!!!!!
I have very low psa readings, but still have an inlarged prostate. So your psa results and the size of your prostate are two different things.
Thanks so kinde can you tell me what kind bread and rice I can eat I been suffering over 2 years now thanks.
@@kennyfoster2416 PSA testing is worthless.
Love you man! I’m going to be 74 in two weeks, my only regret is not having you as my mentor 40 years ago. Inconsistent keto for four years as of June 8th, no medications, vastly improved diabetes, ALL other problems gone, many reversed including the effects of CVA stroke twenty years ago (Viox samples from my doctor for gout). Drinking has always been a problem, down to a couple of glasses (half a 750ml bottle) a week with wife, typically following our incredibly wonderful love making secession every Sunday and Monday. Life is good particularly when you fully comprehend what’s REALLY important. Keep up your great work. Truly appreciative.
Excellent information. Truth!!! I’m a living witness!
Thanks for you're very helpful advice . I'm 4 months into Keto and now I think I understand why I'm no longer getting up so often to urinate at night .
Hi Ken, Great info thanks so much makes sooo much sense. Do you have a book out about this ? You should ! Soo many men need this info...a diet book based on this would be great showing what to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner...Many thanks best wishes Rolf
Thanks for posting - and updating - this segment. Once again, I’m smarter and better informed about the benefits of Keto and IF. Well down the pathway towards a more healthy life (no longer diabetic) and the 65+ pounds lost have increased mobility, stamina and so many other negative aspects of the ‘old me’. Thanks!

Lapsing the weight is probably what caused the type 2 diabetes
Dr. Ken D. Berry, i want to thanks you. Your information has helped me understand many things from prostate to weight loss. My enlarged prostate is actually getting better. I can now pee a nice stream, before I was barely dripping painful. Besides carnivore, for 2 weeks I have been taking Celtic salt , a pinch on my tongue for 30 seconds and drinking a bottle of water afterwards. This i believe is the answer.
Good day doctor berry.. I have been detected for grade 2 prostatomegely for almost a week now.. I'm just really thankfully to this video.. very helpful and thanks for your info that I have never hear before.. from Philippines.. more power doc berry.. God bless and keep safe and more helpful videos.. ✌️👍
Adding ACV to everything you said is also helping me with my prostate. Thank you so much Dr. Berry.
Very thrue information. I was Getting introduced to Keto diet and preparing for it..thanks a lot for the push..by the way. .
God bless
Thanks for the time you put in and heard work 🕵👍keep it up God bless
Thanks for your update!
You got me Doc. I subbed.
Thank you Dr. Ken Berry. I don't think I have this issue, but I I'll be 48 this year and from what I know in life is that a great offence is always your best defense.
I didn't think I had it in 48, 49 I was like maybe or maybe some other serious disease down there, 50 I knew I had a huge organ
It makes sense what you are saying.. Thank you
Thank you doctor. It is really really helpful. God bless you.
Very helpful video on BPH aka enlarged prostate. This video covers more helpful information that can actually help relieve the bph condition than the 5 different different doctors I went to see in my area. Thank you Dr Berry, well done. I will be using this video to treat my bph & lowT issues.
add 9mg of Boron a day, to release bound Testosterone
Thank you, doctor. Excellent! i love treating the root causes rather than the symptoms. Wish you well, doctor!
Awesome doctor, I'm a FP from Iowa, thank you very much
I had a serious prostate problem for years. Strangely enough I've ended up eating exactly as you've described. Here's one thing I will add to what you're saying and it saved me. Every day I took 1tsp of turmeric and half a tsp of black pepper in water. within an hour you can urinate normally and the discomfort stops. Its a great safe way of getting through the recovery time.
That's wild! Glad it worked for you. I started taking turmeric because it's anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory in general. I soon got very depressed, looked into it further, and found that in some people it converts to estrogen. That would be something to watch out for since estrogen will grow the prostate.
@@HusaCreature You need the black pepper to absorb and utilize the Turmeric.
@@HusaCreature I’ve heard that too, but then I’ve also heard that some people avoid the depression by alternating alcohol & meth, personally speaking, that doesn’t sound like the best advice though, or healthy.
You have been by far one of the best doctor explaining the subject of prostate thank you very much
I have seen a total of 11 urologists and have asked them why I am having an enlarged prostate problem and ALL 11 said they had NO idea. I EVEN HAD ONE UROLOGIST SAY THAT IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT I DID THAT I "WOULD GET WORSE AND WORSE." At the time I told this idiot that when I fasted 2-4 days prostate symptoms disappeared. I realize I was on the right track and simply did not persist. IF is the way to go keeping insulin at rock bottom.. In you waltz in Dr. Berry and you offer an explanation that makes sooo much sense. How can 11 urologists be so ignorant? Could it be they want me to do procedures that cost $50k a pop instead of simply changing my diet and habits that makes them zero money?
My experience with GPs and consultants is that their first response is medication. I am having a hells job trying to get a CAC score carried out, they want to put me on statins for slightly raised LDL. I have found that most problems can be resolved though what we eat. As Dr Berry says we just need to eat the proper human diet and we won't suffer from these modern illnesses. Keep it up Doc.
Amazing that all urologists are not at least made aware that hyperinsulinemia and BPH are linked
@zack oblong Going keto is really not that big of a deal. Remember it is not about calorie restriction. It is about keeping your insulin low.
Will a low carb keto diet reduce the prostate? The audio doesn't work on the video
@@danmauney8394 I can tell you that when I eat once a day, my prostate is almost normal. Note I am not saying calorie restriction just eat once a day.
Thanks Doc! I think you are spot on. I also find that staying active and sweating a lot (jogging, running, yoga sitting in a sauna..etc.. ) helps with the lymphatic system... the prostate (of course a gland), also seems to be tied heavily to the lymphatic system as well...
I believe you are right about this
Thank yu very much Doc. for yr advice. Eating two dates a day and one or two tea spoon of honey : does it have a negative effect on prostate?
I've always been a very heavy sweater. I've asked docs several times if sweating helps to make me feel better afterwards. They say no, it's the exercise. That may be part of it but I think sweating gets rid of bad stuff that just exercise doesn't.
Rebound exercise is also supposed to be very good at helping mobilise the lymphatic system. i.e. getting those lymph valves opening and closing, and the fluid moving. Probably almost any rhythmic activity does actually.
@@tewoldeezra4765 I eat 2 dates every morning with some soaked/peeled almonds. (I soak the dates and almonds overnight) I have some honey later in the day (1 teaspoon or less). I am 71 and have not found this to be an issue. You must also eat healthy, exercise, and get good sleep.
I can attest to the truth and validity of this video post by genius level Dr Berry. I'm almost 65. I'd been on and off low carb for decades with marginal success. prostrate issues for at least a decade now until I discovered Carnivore diet. Even a few months into carnivore, I was still pumping Saw P, Zinc and selenium combo every night as that was the only was to alleviate urinary issues. Now after 10 months of fairly strict carnivore (90-95%), I am down to just 3 Saw P capsules 3-4 times weekly and have improved my prostate condition considerably. I urge Everyone to try Carnivore for just a few days and watch those sugar food cravings disappear! Yes, you will miss a lot of foods like potato's rice and corn but the freedom from flashy fast food lights and artisan cardboard processed foods at the grocery isles will liberate you to a new guilt free way of life! TY Dr Berry!
Thank you Berry for your lots of scientific informational videos ...very much helpful ....
Thank you Doc. This is what I've been missing.
Well done Dr Berry. Great video as always!!
Great, succinct summary... THANKS!!
I take Costco's Prostate Complex capsule, Stinging Nettle leave capsules and Saw Palmetto capsules daily and never have a problem with looking for bathrooms wherever I may go. Been doing this for 4 or 5 years now and they work great. ;-)
Thank you Dr. Ken. Any information you have on Rye Pollen Extract? Good - Bad - Great - Requires combining with other elements?
I hope this will help some people with prostate problems it worked for me. I was having the night time urinations about 5 or 6 times. Then in the lunch time I would have this discomfort feeling that would go away later in the evening. Along with this I had the bad pee flow. I have sleep apnea and got a machine a few years back totally awesome, no more feeling sleepy and my acid re flux went away completely. I have just the nasal mask but since I have congestion sometimes and breath out my mouth it make the rewards of the sleep machine not valid. I tried a full mask and did not like it so what I did was I got a snoring chin strap to keep my mouth closed and sometimes I use a nasal spray to clear my sinus before bed. If your not congested then you don.t need a spray. The next day everything for me went right back too normal, full flow no more discomfort in the middle of the day. Anyway I am so happy this worked for me. Sleep is very important. I feel your pain guys, maybe see if this could be the issue. Thanks
Brilliant work indeed.
This is amazing video. I am going to start working on these stuff he discussed and get back to him ASAP
Spot on Sir. Also all of the other health benefits of a low carb and fasting diet are increased. Thank you Sir, yes this is controversial and people are still being told the wrong information. It takes courage to go against the gain (so to speak) but you are 100 percent correct. Thank you
Another great video for proper eating protocol to mitigate/evade BPH. Thanks, Doc, keep the good work! Respect! 🙏 Along with LCHF/IF, I add nettle root extract, saw palmetto, pygeum and lycopene. Hope that'll be enough. Good health to all!
Hello Angel, how did you get on? I'm about to start taking those supplements.
My condolences.
Good strong core consistent physical exercise is key too.
Doc- you are always way ahead of your contemporaries. This is working!
