Is Testosterone Therapy Safe?
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – In well-selected, well-monitored men, testosterone therapy can improve quality of life—without compromising oncologic outcomes.

By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – In men with low testosterone, PSA can underestimate prostate cancer risk, even with aggressive disease. Up to 18% may harbor significant tumors despite “normal” PSA. Clinicians should use MRI, biomarkers, and close monitoring rather than relying on PSA alone.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – When it comes to processed meats, labels can be misleading, “natural” doesn’t mean safe, and making smart, informed choices most of the time is what keeps you healthy in the long run. Remember — a sustainable healthy lifestyle balances discipline and indulgence.
Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – Vitamin D is low-cost, low-risk, and supported by strong science. It plays a big role in aging, prostate health, and immune defense, and adding it to your wellness routine is one of the best steps you can take to protect your health as you age.
by Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – Prostatitis remains frustrating for both patients and physicians alike, and success in managing it often lies in looking beyond the prostate—and toward the whole person.
Even with a clean and balanced diet, it’s harder than ever to get optimal nutrient levels. Let food and exercise be the foundation for your health, but let supplements fill in the gaps and help you address specific needs.
Lifestyle changes may not significantly reduce PCa-specific mortality, but in this study, they played a crucial role in improving cardiovascular health and overall longevity—an important consideration given that CVD is a leading cause of death among PCa patients.Â
Even with the best dietary intentions, modern food may no longer provide the full spectrum of essential nutrients, especially for older adults. When combined with age-related changes in absorption and metabolism, this reality supports the judicious use of daily multivitamins as part of a broader preventive care strategy.
Testosterone optimization goes beyond total T levels—monitoring SHBG and free testosterone is crucial for assessing true androgen activity. While high-powered supplement studies are limited, existing research and clinical experience suggest that targeted dietary and herbal strategies can help.
Eggs provide valuable nutrients, but may be linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer. Lifestyle choices, including moderation and dietary balance are key.
The typical cholesterol panel (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL) often fails to give a full picture of heart disease risk. Don’t rely on standard cholesterol tests alone. If your doctor is not testing for ApoB, TG/HDL ratio, or CAC score, you’re missing key data about your heart health.
This study underscores the importance of targeted prevention strategies, and highlights the benefits of general lifestyle modifications, especially for men at higher genetic risk of prostate cancer.
It’s important to understand that no single nutrient or food causes or cures prostate cancer. Like anything else, even something as essential as water can be harmful if consumed in excess.
One study reviewed linked higher fitness levels in middle-aged men with decreased risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease mortality, although it found no direct correlation with prostate cancer incidence.

It has proven to be difficult, if not impossible, to proceed to full-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for most of the natural methods that cannot be patented or otherwise monopolized.Â
By addressing food sensitivities through targeted testing and personalized dietary interventions, individuals can take a significant step toward reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and enhancing overall well-being.

Menopause Care in the Longevity Era Longevity medicine is everywhere right now. Supplements, protocols, influencer clinics, patients walking in with questions about interventions their doctors have never heard of. What's missing from most of it is the evidence. The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.
