Prostate concerns are among the most common health issues facing men as they age, yet many remain unclear about why these changes occur and what can be done to support prostate health naturally. In this comprehensive class, K.P. Khalsa offers a clear, practical overview of prostate anatomy, function, and the physiological processes that contribute to benign prostatic enlargement and related urinary symptoms.
Students explore how hormonal shifts—including testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT)—influence prostate tissue, why urinary flow becomes restricted over time, and how factors such as diet, blood sugar balance, constipation, stress, and medication use can aggravate symptoms. The class also examines the relationship between prostate health, digestion, metabolism, and overall pelvic circulation.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, this course emphasizes long-term strategies for prostate wellness, including food-based approaches, lifestyle considerations, and categories of natural support used in both Western and Ayurvedic traditions. The result is a grounded, empowering framework for understanding prostate health and making informed choices that support comfort, function, and resilience over time.
This class is suitable for men at any stage of life, partners supporting loved ones, and practitioners seeking a holistic perspective on prostate care.

Prostate enlargement and urinary changes are often treated as inevitable consequences of aging, yet they are deeply influenced by hormonal balance, metabolic health, inflammation, and lifestyle patterns. In this in-depth course, K.P. Khalsa demystifies prostate physiology and explains how benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) develops, why it interferes with urinary flow, and what drives the progression of symptoms over time.
Students learn how age-related shifts in testosterone metabolism—particularly increased conversion to dihydrotestosterone (DHT)—affect prostate tissue growth, and how factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, chronic constipation, pelvic congestion, stress, and certain medications can worsen swelling and discomfort. The class also addresses common symptoms including urinary urgency, weak stream, dribbling, nighttime waking, and incomplete emptying, helping students understand what these signals reveal about underlying physiology.
Beyond anatomy and hormones, the course explores natural, research-informed strategies for long-term prostate support. Khalsa reviews dietary patterns associated with lower prostate risk, including plant-forward diets, cruciferous vegetables, sulfur-rich foods, lycopene-containing fruits, and key nutrients such as zinc and vitamin D. Students are introduced to broad categories of natural support—including anti-inflammatory agents, urinary tonics, mild diuretics, astringents, and hormone-modulating botanicals—along with insights from both Western herbalism and Ayurveda.
The class also provides context around PSA testing, prostate cancer risk, and global differences in prostate disease patterns, offering clarity without fear-based messaging. Overall, this course equips students with a practical, systems-based understanding of prostate health and the tools needed to support it proactively and naturally.
