Episode 454: Men's Health (Prostate Cancer & Testosterone Therapy)

This week, Dr. Joel Kahn reviews the latest research on men's health, focusing on diet and prostate cancer. He highlights findings that support whole-food, plant-based diets and discusses the connection between prostate cancer, heart disease, and the cardiovascular risks associated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Other topics covered include plant-based diets and disease rates, the role of LDL cholesterol in soft plaque formation, TMAO in abdominal aortic aneurysms and kidney disease, periodontal disease and its impact on heart health, saccharin and cardiovascular risk, extreme physical activity and carotid plaque, and the effects of Tylenol use during pregnancy.  Dr. Kahn also reviews new research on cyclodextrin suppositories, a paper examining the impact of statins on blood sugar, and the potential role of TUDCA as a possible antidote.  Resources mentioned in this episode include the cyclodextrin paper available at www.atherocare.com/drjoelkahn and details on TUDCA at https://shop.drjoelkahn.com/catalog/product/view/id/17560/s/tudca-tauroursodeoxycholic-acid-60-capsules/.
