#488: The Hidden TRIGGERS Behind Prostate Issues: Biofilms, Early Warning Signs, and Why “Normal” Isn’t Good Enough | With Dr. Lisbeth Roy
Today, I’m joined by Dr. Lisbeth Roy, a root cause physician whose passion for men’s health was shaped by her own journey through personal tragedy and deep curiosity. Dr. Roy opens up about how her search for answers when her son fell seriously ill led her to question the limits of conventional medicine and ultimately reimagine what it means to truly heal—from the inside out.
Together, we dive into the world of prostate health, exploring why common symptoms in men over 40 are not just “a normal part of aging,” but critical messages from the body that deserve a closer look. Dr. Roy shares the seven hidden drivers of prostate dysfunction, reveals how environmental toxins, stealth infections, and even oral bacteria can silently impact men’s vitality, and explains why true longevity is built on the smallest daily decisions—not shortcuts or symptom-chasing.
If you care about men’s health—or love someone who does—this conversation will challenge your assumptions, equip you with practical tools for prevention, and offer hope that optimal aging is possible at any stage of life.
