Episode #98 – Prostate Health, Hormones & Proactive Nutrition — with Neil Levin of NOW Foods
In Episode 98 of Good Healthy by Claudia, Claudia and Denny Schaffer welcome back one of the show’s most trusted educators, Neil Levin, Senior Nutrition Education Manager and product formulator at NOW Foods. This episode dives into a topic that affects millions of men — yet often isn’t talked about until it becomes a problem: prostate health. Neil breaks down the science behind common prostate concerns, why inflammation and hormonal imbalance play such a big role, and how natural nutrition can help men stay proactive instead of reactive. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why prostate issues become more common with age What causes nighttime bathroom trips and urinary discomfort The role of inflammation and free radicals in prostate enlargement How key nutrients like saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, stinging nettle root, zinc, selenium, and lycopene support prostate function The difference between basic prostate support formulas and clinical-strength options Why antioxidants work better together, not alone How vitamin D receptors play a role in prostate health The impact of xenoestrogens (environmental estrogens from plastics, pesticides, and chemicals) Why men should think about hormone balance, not just symptoms How calcium D-glucarate supports detox pathways and hormone metabolism Why being proactive with nutrition can help prevent bigger issues later Claudia and Neil also explain complex biochemistry concepts in a clear, relatable way — showing how the body detoxifies hormones, why modern toxin exposure overwhelms natural pathways, and how targeted supplements can help restore balance. This episode is a must-listen for men who want to protect their health, partners who want to support the men in their lives, and anyone who believes prevention is better than crisis care. 📍 Learn more at Health Foods by Claudia 📅 New episodes every week 🙏 Be proactive.
