At EASTSIDE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER in Kirkland, WA, we focus on prevention as the first step toward lifelong men’s health. Dr. Frank Marinkovich, M.D., helps men take proactive steps to maintain prostate function, prevent enlargement, and lower the risk of prostate cancer using lifestyle, nutrition, and functional care strategies.
The prostate supports urinary control and male fertility
Conditions like BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) can lead to frequent urination, urgency, or weak stream
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men
Why it matters: Early care and healthy habits can greatly reduce your lifetime risk.
Eat More Plants – Tomatoes (lycopene), broccoli, leafy greens, and berries reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
Limit Red Meat & Processed Foods – High-fat diets and additives may contribute to prostate enlargement
Stay Physically Active – Regular exercise improves circulation, hormone balance, and inflammation control
Hydrate Properly – Keeps the urinary system functioning efficiently and flushes toxins
Reduce Alcohol and Caffeine – Both can irritate the bladder and worsen urinary symptoms
Why it matters: Daily choices add up—what you eat and how you live directly impacts prostate wellness.
Annual PSA Testing – Recommended for men over 50 or earlier with family history
Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) – Helps detect prostate abnormalities
Functional Labs – We assess hormone levels, inflammation, and nutritional markers
Track Symptoms Early – Discuss urinary changes, discomfort, or family history during checkups
Why it matters: Screening helps catch issues early, when they’re easiest to manage or reverse.
At EASTSIDE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER, we combine traditional screening with functional insights to help you preserve prostate health—and overall vitality—for years to come.
