In this eye-opening episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole Rivera dives into the often-overlooked connection between gut health and prostate inflammation. With staggering statistics showing that 50% of men over 50 and up to 90% over 70 experience prostate issues, she sheds light on how toxins, inflammation, and dietary factors play a critical role. Dr. Nicole explores symptoms like urinary changes and challenges the conventional focus on medications like Flomax by emphasizing the importance of addressing root causes, such as gut imbalances and toxic exposures.
Through a functional and integrative lens, Dr. Nicole shares actionable insights, from understanding the prostate's anatomical relationship to the gut to the impacts of heavy metals, pesticides, and poor lifestyle choices. She encourages listeners to seek deeper diagnostic testing and data about their bodies rather than relying on quick fixes.
