    Prostate issues plague over half of men past 50, escalating to 80-90% by age 70. But the BSB knows this isn't just about aging or genetics; it's a direct consequence of systemic inflammation and toxic overload. While conventional medicine offers symptomatic relief, the true root lies in compromised gut health and overburdened detoxification pathways. We expose how seemingly unrelated issues like chronic gut inflammation, environmental toxins, and even parasitic infections directly impact prostate health due to anatomical proximity and shared lymphatic drainage. Stop treating symptoms and start addressing the foundational imbalances that truly drive prostate dysfunction.

    What you'll learn

    • Prostate issues, common in older men, often stem from overlooked gut health problems.
    • Anatomical proximity links gut inflammation directly to prostate dysfunction via lymphatic drainage.
    • Environmental toxins, heavy metals, and pesticide residues overburden detoxification organs, impacting prostate.
    • Conventional stool tests are often inadequate for identifying deep-seated gut infections or chemical burdens.
    • Personalized functional testing is crucial to identify specific root causes for effective prostate health.

    Questions answered

    What percentage of men experience prostate issues over age 50?
    Over 50% of men over 50, and 80-90% of men over 70, experience prostate issues not necessarily prostate cancer.
    What are early signs of prostate inflammation?
    Early signs include a start-and-stop urinary flow, a weak stream, or feeling like you haven't fully emptied your bladder after urinating.
    How does gut health relate to prostate issues?
    The prostate is anatomically close to the rectum, so inflammation, toxins, and bad bacteria in the gut can cascade and affect the prostate due to their proximity and shared lymphatic drainage.
    Why do our bodies struggle to clear toxins?
    Our bodies are strong, but modern life exposes us to so many chemicals, heavy metals, and processed foods that our liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system become overloaded and unable to effectively filter everything out.
    What is a common misconception about aging and symptoms?
    Many chronic symptoms like brain fog, headaches, muscle pain, and joint pain are often attributed to aging, but they are frequently connected to overloaded filtration systems and toxin accumulation.

Integrative view radio you have Dr Nicole here talking radio you have Dr Nicole here talking radio you have Dr Nicole here talking about a man's about a man's about a man's topic so I have a client that I was topic so I have a client that I was topic so I have a client that I was working with recently and we were working with recently and we were working with recently and we were talking specifically about prostate talking specifically about prostate talking specifically about prostate issues in in men over the age of 50 and issues in in men over the age of 50 and issues in in men over the age of 50 and I realized I haven't really talked about I realized I haven't really talked about I realized I haven't really talked about this specific Topic in on the podcast this specific Topic in on the podcast this specific Topic in on the podcast but I really think it's important but I really think it's important but I really think it's important because the statistics are insane when because the statistics are insane when because the statistics are insane when it comes to the average of men over the it comes to the average of men over the it comes to the average of men over the age of 50 that are dealing with prostate age of 50 that are dealing with prostate age of 50 that are dealing with prostate issues so the percentage of men that are issues so the percentage of men that are issues so the percentage of men that are dealing with prostate issues over the dealing with prostate issues over the dealing with prostate issues over the age of 50 is age of 50 is age of 50 is 50 and then listen to this after the age 50 and then listen to this after the age 50 and then listen to this after the age of 70 it goes up to 80 to 90% of men and of 70 it goes up to 80 to 90% of men and of 70 it goes up to 80 to 90% of men and so this is a bit ambiguous because I'm so this is a bit ambiguous because I'm so this is a bit ambiguous because I'm not talking about anything in extreme not talking about anything in extreme not talking about anything in extreme I'm not talking about prostate cancer I'm not talking about prostate cancer I'm not talking about prostate cancer per se I'm talking about a condition of per se I'm talking about a condition of per se I'm talking about a condition of the the the prostate and so this is one of the prostate and so this is one of the prostate and so this is one of the reasons why one of the most profitable reasons why one of the most profitable reasons why one of the most profitable drugs out there is Flomax and you know I drugs out there is Flomax and you know I drugs out there is Flomax and you know I know it's not the most fun party know it's not the most fun party know it's not the most fun party conversation or dinnertime conversation conversation or dinnertime conversation conversation or dinnertime conversation but if you ask the majority of men over but if you ask the majority of men over but if you ask the majority of men over the age of 50 what medications they're the age of 50 what medications they're the age of 50 what medications they're on it's almost unanimous that they are on it's almost unanimous that they are on it's almost unanimous that they are on blood pressure medication they are on on blood pressure medication they are on on blood pressure medication they are on prostate medication like Flomax for prostate medication like Flomax for prostate medication like Flomax for better urinary flow and for prostate better urinary flow and for prostate better urinary flow and for prostate inflammation and their own cholesterol inflammation and their own cholesterol inflammation and their own cholesterol medication it is the medication it is the medication it is the trifect that they're all on it's crazy trifect that they're all on it's crazy trifect that they're all on it's crazy absolutely crazy and this is from my own absolutely crazy and this is from my own absolutely crazy and this is from my own you I don't want to say research I'm I'm you I don't want to say research I'm I'm you I don't want to say research I'm I'm saying this based on the people that saying this based on the people that saying this based on the people that I've seen which is Thousands over the I've seen which is Thousands over the I've seen which is Thousands over the past 13 years but obviously I have many past 13 years but obviously I have many past 13 years but obviously I have many many colleagues in this industry and many colleagues in this industry and many colleagues in this industry and when we look at their data it's the same when we look at their data it's the same when we look at their data it's the same those three those three those three medications so we have to really ask medications so we have to really ask medications so we have to really ask like why is it so common for men to have like why is it so common for men to have like why is it so common for men to have issues with their prostate and so let's issues with their prostate and so let's issues with their prostate and so let's start with this because there are some start with this because there are some start with this because there are some people that actively know that they have people that actively know that they have people that actively know that they have prostate inflammation benign Hy prostate inflammation benign Hy prostate inflammation benign Hy hyper benign prostatic hypertrophy or hyper benign prostatic hypertrophy or hyper benign prostatic hypertrophy or they've been told they have a sister in they've been told they have a sister in they've been told they have a sister in adenoma but the thing is is that there adenoma but the thing is is that there adenoma but the thing is is that there are a lot of men that are walking around are a lot of men that are walking around are a lot of men that are walking around that have Pro the start of prostate that have Pro the start of prostate that have Pro the start of prostate inflammation and don't even know it and inflammation and don't even know it and inflammation and don't even know it and really the way that this looks is really the way that this looks is really the way that this looks is changes in your urinary flow and stream changes in your urinary flow and stream changes in your urinary flow and stream so some of the questions that I so some of the questions that I so some of the questions that I typically ask is you know when you go to typically ask is you know when you go to typically ask is you know when you go to urinate do you find that you start and urinate do you find that you start and urinate do you find that you start and stop with your flow question number one stop with your flow question number one stop with your flow question number one because if you do that is a sign of because if you do that is a sign of because if you do that is a sign of prostatic prostatic prostatic inflammation do you also find that your inflammation do you also find that your inflammation do you also find that your stream is weak another sign of stream is weak another sign of stream is weak another sign of prosthetic inflammation and the third is prosthetic inflammation and the third is prosthetic inflammation and the third is do you find that you urinate and then do you find that you urinate and then do you find that you urinate and then you're like oh my gosh it's been like 15 you're like oh my gosh it's been like 15 you're like oh my gosh it's been like 15 minutes why do I feel like I have to minutes why do I feel like I have to minutes why do I feel like I have to urinate again and it's almost the urinate again and it's almost the urinate again and it's almost the sensation like I didn't get it all out sensation like I didn't get it all out sensation like I didn't get it all out another sign of prostatic inflammation another sign of prostatic inflammation another sign of prostatic inflammation and so in in the population that I work and so in in the population that I work and so in in the population that I work with I work with all different age with I work with all different age with I work with all different age groups and I'm hearing these symptoms in groups and I'm hearing these symptoms in groups and I'm hearing these symptoms in men that are in their late 20s that are men that are in their late 20s that are men that are in their late 20s that are in their 30s so they're showing that it in their 30s so they're showing that it in their 30s so they're showing that it they know the data that men have some they know the data that men have some they know the data that men have some level of prostatic inflammation over the level of prostatic inflammation over the level of prostatic inflammation over the age of age of age of 50 but if you start if you understand 50 but if you start if you understand 50 but if you start if you understand the symptoms you're going to find that the symptoms you're going to find that the symptoms you're going to find that there are young men that already have there are young men that already have there are young men that already have the start of prostatic the start of prostatic the start of prostatic inflammation so why what the heck is the inflammation so why what the heck is the inflammation so why what the heck is the issue like why would this be happening issue like why would this be happening issue like why would this be happening you know if we want to look at the you know if we want to look at the you know if we want to look at the prostate and just look at it from a prostate and just look at it from a prostate and just look at it from a urinary perspective then you know we urinary perspective then you know we urinary perspective then you know we could say oh do you know are men walking could say oh do you know are men walking could say oh do you know are men walking around with asymptomatic infections in around with asymptomatic infections in around with asymptomatic infections in their urinary system are they walking their urinary system are they walking their urinary system are they walking around with asymptomatic STD sexually around with asymptomatic STD sexually around with asymptomatic STD sexually transmitted diseases yeah of course all transmitted diseases yeah of course all transmitted diseases yeah of course all all of those things are all of those things are all of those things are possible but if you listen to my other possible but if you listen to my other possible but if you listen to my other podcast I talk a lot about anatomy and I podcast I talk a lot about anatomy and I podcast I talk a lot about anatomy and I talk about very because when you talk about very because when you talk about very because when you understand Anatomy sometimes things are understand Anatomy sometimes things are understand Anatomy sometimes things are so freaking so freaking so freaking obvious that are completely overlooked obvious that are completely overlooked obvious that are completely overlooked in conventional Med medicine settings in conventional Med medicine settings in conventional Med medicine settings and you know part of it I get it I get and you know part of it I get it I get and you know part of it I get it I get that everyone is a specialist I get that that everyone is a specialist I get that that everyone is a specialist I get that you know there is going to be the you know there is going to be the you know there is going to be the urologist there is the urologist there is the urologist there is the gastroenterologist there is the gastroenterologist there is the gastroenterologist there is the cardiologist and everyone has their cardiologist and everyone has their cardiologist and everyone has their specialty because all of these organs specialty because all of these organs specialty because all of these organs are complex fantastic I get it but at are complex fantastic I get it but at are complex fantastic I get it but at the end of the day we are an integration the end of the day we are an integration the end of the day we are an integration of all of these systems and of all of these systems and of all of these systems and anatomically there are certain systems anatomically there are certain systems anatomically there are certain systems that will affect other systems because that will affect other systems because that will affect other systems because it's almost like Guilty By Association it's almost like Guilty By Association it's almost like Guilty By Association Guilty by proximity so when you look at Guilty by proximity so when you look at Guilty by proximity so when you look at the anatomy of the pelvic bowl of a male the anatomy of the pelvic bowl of a male the anatomy of the pelvic bowl of a male you're going to find that their prostate you're going to find that their prostate you're going to find that their prostate backs up to their rectum AKA part of backs up to their rectum AKA part of backs up to their rectum AKA part of your colon where you poop and so when I your colon where you poop and so when I your colon where you poop and so when I do my deep dive Diagnostics I find that do my deep dive Diagnostics I find that do my deep dive Diagnostics I find that so many men especially over the age of so many men especially over the age of so many men especially over the age of 50 are dealing with gut issues if they 50 are dealing with gut issues if they 50 are dealing with gut issues if they know it or they don't and the reason why know it or they don't and the reason why know it or they don't and the reason why this isn't just Men by the way but we're this isn't just Men by the way but we're this isn't just Men by the way but we're obviously talking about the prostate but obviously talking about the prostate but obviously talking about the prostate but we have to think about it this way we have to think about it this way we have to think about it this way because I'll give you one example that because I'll give you one example that because I'll give you one example that will preface with what I'm about to talk will preface with what I'm about to talk will preface with what I'm about to talk about when I

rectal area the inflammation in the rectal area the descending colon you are going to then descending colon you are going to then descending colon you are going to then Cascade that inflammation you're going Cascade that inflammation you're going Cascade that inflammation you're going to even Cascade those chemical residues to even Cascade those chemical residues to even Cascade those chemical residues and you're going to Cascade that bad and you're going to Cascade that bad and you're going to Cascade that bad bacteria or any of those infections into bacteria or any of those infections into bacteria or any of those infections into the prostate because guess what they're the prostate because guess what they're the prostate because guess what they're lymph nodes that surround your rectum lymph nodes that surround your rectum lymph nodes that surround your rectum surround your all of your intestines surround your all of your intestines surround your all of your intestines surround your prostate and they're the surround your prostate and they're the surround your prostate and they're the clean up so if all of those different clean up so if all of those

getting dumped the lymph then and also getting dumped the lymph then and also getting dumped into the blood vessels that's how it's into the blood vessels that's how it's into the blood vessels that's how it's then going to make its way in to other then going to make its way in to other then going to make its way in to other places like the prostate and the places like the prostate and the places like the prostate and the prostate is the neighbor it's right prostate is the neighbor it's right prostate is the neighbor it's right there so this is a huge contributing there so this is a huge contributing there so this is a huge contributing factor that no one is talking about when factor that no one is talking about when factor that no one is talking about when it comes to prostate issues it comes to prostate issues it comes to prostate issues so you know we're living in a world so you know we're living in a world so you know we're living in a world where men are waiting they're awaiting where men are waiting they're awaiting where men are waiting they're awaiting the the prostate cancer diagnosis and the the prostate cancer diagnosis and the the prostate cancer diagnosis and the frequency or the the commonality of the frequency or the the commonality of the frequency or the the commonality of prostate cancer is insane nowadays and prostate cancer is insane nowadays and prostate cancer is insane nowadays and so what if we could be doing more about so what if we could be doing more about so what if we could be doing more about it by dealing with our gut health and if it by dealing with our gut health and if it by dealing with our gut health and if that is the root cause then you can take that is the root cause then you can take that is the root cause then you can take all the prostate medication you want and all the prostate medication you want and all the prostate medication you want and you can do all the prostatic surgeries you can do all the prostatic surgeries you can do all the prostatic surgeries that you want and it's not not going to that you want and it's not not going to that you want and it's not not going to change it because people will still get change it because people will still get change it because people will still get a a cancer diagnosis in that area and a a cancer diagnosis in that area and a a cancer diagnosis in that area and they're like but the prostate was is they're like but the prostate was is they're like but the prostate was is gone we're like well it's not in your gone we're like well it's not in your gone

all about it they don't know how to test all about it they don't know how to test all about it they don't know how to test for it they might do a stool sample on for it they might do a stool sample on for it they might do a stool sample on you they'll do a St sample for one day you they'll do a St sample for one day you they'll do a St sample for one day so this is a really fun fact you can't so this is a really fun fact you can't so this is a really fun fact you can't get information from stool sample you get information from stool sample you get information from stool sample you don't get quality information from stool don't get quality information from stool don't get quality information from stool samples at all but if you really wanted samples at all but if you really wanted samples at all but if you really wanted to try to get good information from a to try to get good information from a to try to get good information from a stool sample you would need to do a 10 stool sample you would need to do a 10 stool sample you would need to do a 10 day sample you need to [Β Β ] in a box for day sample you need to [Β Β ] in a box for day sample you need to [Β Β ] in a box for 10 days straight and you would need to 10 days straight and you would need to 10 days straight and you would need to have a microbiologist look at the [Β Β ] have a microbiologist look at the [Β Β ] have a microbiologist look at the [Β Β ] within 20 minutes to 30 minutes after within 20 minutes to 30 minutes after within 20 minutes to 30 minutes after coming out of your body you tell me coming out of your body you tell me coming out of your body you tell me where you're going to find that because where you're going to find that because where you're going to find that because parasites will do something called Auto parasites will do something called Auto parasites will do something called Auto they they they self-destruct After exiting their host self-destruct After exiting their host

they deteriorate so they're never they they deteriorate so they're never found in your stool sample that took found in your stool sample that took found in your stool sample that took three weeks to get to the lab and also three weeks to get to the lab and also three weeks to get to the lab and also you shed parasites at different times you shed parasites at different times you shed parasites at different times you shed bacteria at different times so you shed bacteria at different times so you shed bacteria at different times so if you're doing a one day sample if you're doing a one day sample if you're doing a one day sample whoopity do it's not giving you any whoopity do it's not giving you any whoopity do it's not giving you any quality quality quality information and so you want to ask oh information and so you want to ask oh information and so you want to ask oh test me for the chemical stuff they're test me for the chemical stuff they're test me for the chemical stuff they're like well I don't I don't know how to do like well I don't I don't know how to do like well I don't I don't know how to do that we don't we don't do that you have that we don't we don't do
