so in this video we’re gonna talk about

benign prostatic hyperplasia okay where

the prostate is enlarging like what’s

behind this and what foods you need to

consume to get this under control the

problem with this condition is it’s

going to obstruct your urine flow and

the urine is gonna back up into the

kidney and that’s going to create a

toxicity they could even back up into

the liver and because you’re not able to

get rid of the urine so it concentrates

and there’s a lot of problems with that

now this condition is really affected by

hormones there’s different types of

hormones that have different effects

certain hormones have an anabolic effect

on your body that means that those

hormones have the ability to make things

grow alright so now let’s go down the

list and talk about what hormones are

involved

the first one is insulin insulin is an

anabolic hormone it makes things get

bigger and you want to make sure you

don’t have excessive amounts of insulin

so how would you do that

healthy ketosis and especially in a

minute fasting very very very important

number to IDF one what is that this

hormone insulin like growth factor is

similar to insulin but it’s also very

similar to growth hormone okay so you

have human growth room in the body that

has all these different effects that’s

definitely anabolic but growth hormone

then triggers the liver to make IGF

which is a another type of growth

hormone but I don’t want to get into too

much detail in this video about these

hormones all I want you to know is that

this hormone is another hormone that can

make things grow in the body and to keep

this under control

you want to make sure you don’t consume

any dairy and make sure you don’t

consume excessive amounts of protein so

you don’t want to do a high protein diet

we’re going to do a moderate protein

diet without dairy if you have a

prostate problem number three

testosterone now testosterone can also

convert to a more powerful form of

testosterone which is DHT now the

studies on this topic are mixed some

studies show that testosterone and E

HG protects against this condition other

studies show that it can actually worsen

the condition so at this point we really

don’t know exactly if this will increase

or decrease it but what we do know is

this testosterone is converted to DHT

due a hormone called 5-alpha reductase

and some of the most powerful inhibitors

of this enzyme help improve in a large

prostate and that would be salt palmetto

and a stinging nettle root so these are

two powerful enzymes that can help less

than the amount of DHT produced so one

point about stinging nettle Road if

you’re going to do this as a remedy make

sure you do in larger amounts not in

smaller amounts alright let’s go to

number four estrogen I really believe

that estrogen is one of the more potent

influences of an enlarged prostate in

addition to insulin so these two here

have a huge influence on whether you

have an enlarged prostate or not and

this hormone right here is a female

hormone but men have a certain amount of

estrogen but they’re not supposed to

have too much of it

now your testosterone can also convert

to estrogen in your body through another

enzyme and this could be a problem right

here so the question is how would you

block this enzyme well it just so

happens there are inhibitors of this

enzyme to lessen the amount of estrogen

produced and the best foods to give you

these inhibitors would be the

cruciferous vegetables there’s another

compound called dim which is a very

powerful enzyme inhibitor and dim is a

very concentrated cruciferous compound

so the phytonutrients in cruciferous

vegetables whether you’re doing in a

concentrated form or the vegetables

themself help to inhibit this enzyme and

help to lessen the amount of estrogen

produced you also want to be careful of

all the other things that can actually

raise estrogen in the body

soy protein isolates in the foods that

you eat or the oils that are GMO like

soy and corn and canola and cottonseed

oil all can actually increase estrogen

in the body and that could be why you

have too much estrogen in the body so

you want to do organic foods wild-caught

fed pasture-raised eggs to make sure

that we limit the amount of estrogen in

the body one additional point I want to

talk about is sometimes when people do a

key tell they don’t do it healthily

for example the foods on keto despite

lowering insulin because they’re not

hiring carb might contain things that

increase estrogen so just because you’re

on keto doesn’t always mean you’re

reducing this hormone right here so

anyway I just wanted to create this

video to show you the effects that

certain hormones can have on the

prostate gland thanks for watching so if

that sounds weird well I’ll just remind

you on a daily basis about that
