The Real Root Causes of Prostate Problems: Inflammation, Infections, and Why Most Tests Miss Them

Send us a textMost men are told that prostate problems are just part of getting older.Dr. Lisbeth Roy says that’s simply not true.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lisbeth Roy, board-certified functional and regenerative medicine physician, to talk about what’s really behind prostate issues, low energy, hormone problems, and declining performance in men over 40.We discuss why standard medical tests like PSA often miss the real problem and how hidden infections, chronic inflammation, toxins, and gut issues quietly damage prostate health over time.Dr. Roy explains:Why prostate symptoms are not normal agingHow gut health and the immune system affect the prostateWhy testosterone therapy often helps short-term but fails long-termThe role of chronic infections most doctors never test forHow toxins and plastics disrupt hormonesWhy men delay getting help and the emotional cost of that delayWe also talk openly about the impact prostate problems have on confidence, relationships, work, and daily life, and why partners play a key role in early action and support.This is not about quick fixes.This is about finding the root cause and fixing the system.If you are a man over 40 or you care about one then this episode could change how you think about health, aging, and prevention.Resources mentioned in this episode: AskDrRoy.com DoctorsStudio (Dr. Roy’s clinic and programs)If this episode helped you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it and leave a review to iTunes and/or Spotify as it helps the show reach more people.

(thoughts, beliefs, patterns)What is one thing you want to do less of next year?What is one thing you want to do more of next year?Finish this sentence: “In 2026 I’m the woman who…” (or “I’m the person who…”)What is ONE key habit you want to focus on in January, even in a busy week?Examples of that one January habit:Two strength workouts per week7–8k steps most daysProtein at two meals per dayBedtime before 10:30 pm three nights per weekYou don’t need to become a “new you” on January 1st.You just need to support the you who is already here.If you want extra accountability, send me your identity sentence and your January anchor habit on Instagram @personaltrainer_turo or email [email protected].
