Transcripts

Speaker:

This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,

Speaker:

your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best

Speaker:

selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll

Speaker:

do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how

Speaker:

it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get

Speaker:

started, and be sure to visit my website at

Speaker:

sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and

Speaker:

resources from the show. See you on the inside.

Speaker:

Hi there, Modern Man. Do you know that Mother Nature is

Speaker:

helping you get an erection? Yes, I am not kidding. I'm Dr

Speaker:

Anne Truong, I've treated over 7000 men with ED for over 20

Speaker:

years.

Speaker:

Now, what I've learned from working with thousands of men,

Speaker:

even over 7000, is that Mother Nature has a way to help you get

Speaker:

an erection. And Mother Nature has been doing it since you've

Speaker:

been an adolescent, and that is called morning erection, or even

Speaker:

nighttime erection. Do you know that your body wants to have an

Speaker:

erection so that way it can keep you healthy? A good erection is

Speaker:

a sign that you're actually healthy, and mother nature wants

Speaker:

you to pass your DNA, wants you to have an erection.

Speaker:

So let's talk about morning erection, but it should really

Speaker:

be nighttime erection. Do you know that every man should have

Speaker:

between three to six erections every night, every time he

Speaker:

sleeps, and each erection can last from 15 minutes to even 30

Speaker:

minutes each. And that you don't know that because you're asleep,

Speaker:

because erection happens when you're in dreaming state, or

Speaker:

you're in rapid eye movement, or REM sleep. The REM sleep is when

Speaker:

you're dreaming. Your eyes are moving rapidly and your brain is

Speaker:

in total relaxation mode. There is no stress going on, so your

Speaker:

brain is in a parasympathetic mode. Parasympathetic mode means

Speaker:

erection, mean relaxation. So that's what is kind of

Speaker:

stimulating the environment for you to have morning erection.

Speaker:

It's called morning erection because men notices it more in

Speaker:

the morning after cumulative multiple erection at night. So

Speaker:

your body heals at night time, from 10pm to 6am, and when it

Speaker:

heals, it start to make more hormones. So testosterone is

Speaker:

being made at night in the testicles. And as you sleep

Speaker:

through the night, the testosterone level increases,

Speaker:

and it peaks at 7am that's why, when you go to bed, your body

Speaker:

starts to make testosterone. And in the morning, when you get up

Speaker:

to go to bathroom, you notice, Oh, I got a morning erection

Speaker:

here. Again, .orning erection is really more nighttime erection.

Speaker:

It's accumulative and that it happens when you're in rapid eye

Speaker:

movement, when you're dreaming state, but it's also an

Speaker:

indication that your mind needs to rest as well. So you only can

Speaker:

have erection when your mind is in a restful, peaceful state. So

Speaker:

that's what sleep is. If you want to have an erection, you

Speaker:

need to be in the parasympathetic mode, which is

Speaker:

relaxation mode.

Speaker:

Men, struggling to stay hard? Most of the time it comes down

Speaker:

to poor blood flow. That's why I put together the Good Morning

Speaker:

Wood smoothie, a nutrient packed blend designed to restore blood

Speaker:

flow naturally. My patient often notice improvement in just a few

Speaker:

weeks when they take this part of their daily routine. Click

Speaker:

the link below to get the recipe and start boosting your blood

Speaker:

flow and firmness today, or go to goodmorningwoodsmoothie.com.

Speaker:

So let's get back to Mother Nature. Mother Nature exercises

Speaker:

your penis three to six times throughout the night. So that

Speaker:

way, when you're sleeping, there is hormone being released,

Speaker:

there's nerve being activated, that there's blood rushing down

Speaker:

there, that is helping you get an erection three to six times,

Speaker:

because that's what mother nature wants you to be. Mother

Speaker:

Nature wants you to have a fit penis. That's what you're made

Speaker:

of, and you come with that package already. Now, as you get

Speaker:

older, you will notice you have less morning erection or

Speaker:

nighttime erection. It's because you're not sleeping well, you're

Speaker:

not in rapid eye movement. It's also because you're distracted,

Speaker:

you're stressed out. And also your lifestyle put you at risk

Speaker:

for having lower testosterone, such as sedentary lifestyle,

Speaker:

high blood pressure, high cholesterol, inflammation and

Speaker:

smoking, all that contribute to a lower testosterone level,

Speaker:

which then contribute to nighttime erection. So it's not

Speaker:

so much as you get older, this is what you're going to get.

Speaker:

It's all the things that you get when you get older that

Speaker:

predispose you to get less nighttime erection. Now you will

Speaker:

get less but you shouldn't have zero nighttime erection. So that

Speaker:

is something you need to keep in mind at this point. Is that a

Speaker:

good nighttime erection or morning erection the good

Speaker:

indicator of good blood flow in the penis. And if you're getting

Speaker:

nighttime erection, but you're not getting an erection with a

Speaker:

partner, then it's more of psychological stress or

Speaker:

relationship that is causing the erectile dysfunction. Now know

Speaker:

that you only get nighttime erection when you're in rapid

Speaker:

eye movement, which switches, but you're not in that

Speaker:

throughout the whole night. Rapid eye movement is about

Speaker:

switches from 80 minutes on and then 80 minutes off. That's why

Speaker:

there's fluctuation in nighttime and morning erection.

Speaker:

Okay, Modern Man. If you're struggling with weak erection,

Speaker:

low energy, the food you eat could be the big part of the

Speaker:

problem. One of the best research pathways to boost

Speaker:

circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual

Speaker:

performance is the Mediterranean diet. It's packed with food that

Speaker:

open up your blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your

Speaker:

hormone, naturally. I've seen men notice real improvement in

Speaker:

both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to this

Speaker:

style of eating. So check out the Mediterranean diet link

Speaker:

right here below, and get that as soon as you can. Stronger

Speaker:

testosterone and better erection.

Speaker:

So the bottom line is, get a good night's sleep. Stop the

Speaker:

caffeine at least 5, 6pm so it doesn't interfere with your

Speaker:

sleep. Stop the screen at least two hours before going to bed.

Speaker:

And get a good night's sleep of seven hours at night, because

Speaker:

when you're doing that, you're going to really promote more

Speaker:

rapid eye movement, sleep, more relaxation, and therefore more

Speaker:

nighttime erection, eventual even morning erection. It's just

Speaker:

good for your mind and your body overall, and for your erection

Speaker:

as well. Let Mother Nature do its work to help you get

Speaker:

erection. The whole point I'm trying to tell you is that your

Speaker:

body is made to get erection. Your body is optimized to get

Speaker:

erection. And therefore help it, don't hinder it. And if you do

Speaker:

have morning erection, good for you. Keep doing it, all right.

Speaker:

And if you're noticing less morning erection, then start to

Speaker:

notice. How are you sleeping? You're sleeping seven hours at

Speaker:

night. Are you following Mediterranean diet? Are you

Speaker:

exercise at least 30 minutes for four to five times a week? Are

Speaker:

you smoking? If you are, you need to stop. And what's your

Speaker:

stress level? Because, remember, when you're stressed, when

Speaker:

you're distracted, it's gonna impair nerve mechanism in your

Speaker:

brain to have an erection. So oftentimes men feel Well, I'm

Speaker:

not getting an erection, I'm just gonna pop in the Viagra.

Speaker:

Well that's the last thing you need to do. Oftentimes, it may

Speaker:

just be your sleep. Oftentimes, notice if you're getting morning

Speaker:

erection. If you're get morning erection, you don't need to take

Speaker:

Viagra. If you get morning erection, there are things that

Speaker:

you can do to fix your not so good erection. Sometimes, as

Speaker:

simple as getting a peaceful night's sleep, stopping the

Speaker:

caption early, stopping the scrolling on your phone before

Speaker:

bed, and just get a good night sleep and get your body to heal

Speaker:

itself. Because you take care of your body, it will take care of

Speaker:

you. It will take care of your erection. And just know that you

Speaker:

are born with having an erection. What you do with your

Speaker:

lifestyle set you up to have less erection. So you can have

Speaker:

erection when you're 80 or even 90. You just need to take care

Speaker:

of it. You just need to know that there are things that you

Speaker:

can do to keep it going and going. Okay?

Speaker:

So I hope you find this helpful. Let me know what you think and

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:
