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?
