Transcripts

Speaker:

Low libido isn't just about aging. Everything from high blood pressure to

Speaker:

smoking and poor sleep is destroying your sex drive. While treatments like shockwave

Speaker:

therapy and stem cells can force blood flow back and restore function, they are

Speaker:

not magic pills. If you want permanent results, you have to fix the root cause.

Speaker:

Here is how a Mediterranean diet, targeted exercise, and advanced therapies work

Speaker:

together to fix your libido.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

intimate health medical doctor and best selling author of the book, Erectile

Speaker:

Dysfunction Fix. I'll do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how it

Speaker:

affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get started, and be sure to visit

Speaker:

my website at sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more

Speaker:

information and resources from the show. See you on the inside.

Speaker:

So, what are some of the causes of low libido? Low libido means low sex drive,

Speaker:

right? Could be a lot. If you're distracted, if you're anxious, you're

Speaker:

depressed, you're gonna have low libido. You work a lot, you're tired. You're gonna

Speaker:

have low libido. So it's related to your lifestyle, your stress level, your sleep

Speaker:

level. Because when you're sleep deprived and when you're not good mentally up here,

Speaker:

you're not gonna be in the mood for intercourse, right? So that makes sense.

Speaker:

But one of the things that condition that can contribute to low libido is low

Speaker:

testosterone. Testosterone contribute to man libido as well as correction. But it

Speaker:

has other benefits such as building bone mass, building muscle mass, burning more

Speaker:

fat. And so when you have low libido, the first thing is don't blame it on

Speaker:

testosterone. It could be multifactorial thing as well too. Like as if you're not

Speaker:

exercising, that you will not have energy. When you don't have energy, you don't have

Speaker:

libido.

Speaker:

I'm telling you, I have a phrase: fix your sex life by fixing your health. Fix your

Speaker:

sex life by fixing your health. Focusing on fixing your health first, your sex life

Speaker:

will follow. Okay, so I help you improve your sex life by improving your health,

Speaker:

because when you have good health, your sex life is just secondary benefit. So

Speaker:

don't try to just try to fix the sex life without fixing the health. You gotta fix

Speaker:

the health first, then your sex life will follow. Does that make sense?

Speaker:

So how do you fix your health? Let's say you have diabetes. How do you fix your

Speaker:

health? Well, you fix your health by following a Mediterranean diet. When you

Speaker:

follow Mediterranean diet, your blood sugar will decrease, and then you will

Speaker:

lose weight. Fix your health, and you will fix your sex life. So you have diabetes

Speaker:

and high blood pressure. You follow Mediterranean diet, your blood sugar will

Speaker:

come down. You exercise, your blood pressure will come down. About 30 minutes,

Speaker:

three to four times a week. Your blood pressure will come down. You don't need a

Speaker:

blood pressure pill. Exercise could be lowest and moderate exercise at met

Speaker:

between three to seven. That means that if you're exercising and it's hard for you to

Speaker:

count to 10, whether it's walking or stairs or running, you want to get to a

Speaker:

range of about moderate exercise. And then, how do you fix your health? You fix

Speaker:

your health by let's say you have high cholesterol because of what you eat.

Speaker:

Again, follow the Mediterranean diet that will bring down your cholesterol level.

Speaker:

Because cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes are the three top

Speaker:

contributors of ED. It causes inflammation. It causes decreased blood

Speaker:

flow. The other contributor is porn. Porn messes up with your brain, so it's hard

Speaker:

for you to get aroused when you're with a real person. The other thing is smoking.

Speaker:

Stop smoking. The moment you start smoking, you're gonna kill your erection.

Speaker:

So those are mainly the lifestyle factors.

Speaker:

I try to make things simple for you. I try to make things straightforward. It's not

Speaker:

that complicated. You know, you gotta fix your health, fix your sex life. Fix your

Speaker:

sex life, you're gonna fix your health. How do you fix your health? I just give

Speaker:

the most common thing that throw off your health is overweight, high blood pressure,

Speaker:

diabetes, high cholesterol. Because if you just do what I just said and following the

Speaker:

Mediterranean diet and exercise, then you will improve your health. Lose some

Speaker:

weight, and when you do that, you're gonna be able to fix your sex life as well too.

Speaker:

So it all correlate with it.

Speaker:

Okay, Modern Man. If you're struggling with weak erection, low energy, the food

Speaker:

you eat could be the big part of the problem. One of the best research pathways

Speaker:

to boost circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your hormone, naturally. I've seen men

Speaker:

notice real improvement in both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to

Speaker:

this style of eating. So check out the Mediterranean diet link right here below,

Speaker:

and get that as soon as you can. Stronger testosterone and better erection.

Speaker:

Stress is the number one. It's one of the top erection killers because in our

Speaker:

everyday lives we have to recognize that. But then stress lowers testosterone

Speaker:

levels. Stress increases inflammation. Stress decreases blood flow. And knowing

Speaker:

that you have high stress, then it's best to learn how to manage that. How do you

Speaker:

manage your stress? Sometimes the counselor will help. They will provide

Speaker:

some feedback for you. But sometimes they're doing the stuff that you like to

Speaker:

do, like you like basketball, you like baseball. Do more of that. Calm your mind

Speaker:

and decrease that stress. Do whatever things that you like doing. All right. So

Speaker:

that is the fourth pillar is the stress. And my point is, it does take work from

Speaker:

you to restore your sex life. Again, you got to be committed to it. For women, we

Speaker:

have an outlet. We talk to other women. That's like our outlet. For men, you may

Speaker:

not be a big talker, so I would encourage you to do the things you like, hang around

Speaker:

the people that make you relax, and also cut down on the drinking as well too.

Speaker:

You're allowed one to two drink a day, but anything more than 14 a week is too much.

Speaker:

So you may want to kind of keep the drinking more to social and not an

Speaker:

everyday wind down type like thing. You stay here, Fredericksburg. We'll be able

Speaker:

to work together to push because the treatment in my office with the stem cell,

Speaker:

the Botox, the shock wave therapy, the pulse electromagnetic therapy, the Kegel,

Speaker:

just give you a boost in healing, in getting things started with increasing

Speaker:

blood flow. So it cut your time in half and getting result and help you get result

Speaker:

quicker, and it boosts your whole system up for getting more blood flow down there.

Speaker:

The bottom line: even when you get the treatment, you still need to continue

Speaker:

following the Mediterranean diet and also exercise and follow up with sleep for

Speaker:

seven hours and of course doing the penis pump. Those are the one that come into our

Speaker:

Now, if you have sleep problems, stress, and anxiety, depression, that's in the

Speaker:

office. Usually, just do penis pump and taking the multivitamin, the nitric oxide,

Speaker:

brain. So the five signals that you get to get you aroused, like the eyes, the nose,

Speaker:

the mouth, what you hear, and the hand, those five signals send stimulatory

Speaker:

messenger to the brain, would then get filtered through depression and anxiety

Speaker:

the libido plus and vitamin D3 multivitamin and nitric oxide. The nitric

Speaker:

and stress, get filtered through, and when it get filtered through, the noise will be

Speaker:

lower, and then it will reach then to the hormone. The hormone get released, but the

Speaker:

noise will be less because it's being filter through your anxiety, stress, and

Speaker:

oxide is at our store, ED No More, and it's a white bottle, and it has arugula in

Speaker:

insomnia. So, having said that, one of the treatment we're doing in the office is

Speaker:

called the far infrared with terahertz treatment, where we use a wand that has

Speaker:

quartz attached to it, and we go over the actually the kidney acupuncture point as

Speaker:

it, which has the highest content of nitric oxide. The main thing I want to say

Speaker:

well as the sympathetic parasympathetic points in the body. So we hit the spine,

Speaker:

then we hit the kidney meridian, then we hit the vagus nerve, where we want to calm

Speaker:

is that you gotta kind of follow up with changing your diet and your exercise

Speaker:

down the sympathetic nerve and increase the parasympathetic nerve messages. Those

Speaker:

are the main things right now. And then controlling the diabetes as usual. If you

Speaker:

want to see if we can work together, go to this link right here says Renew With Dr

Speaker:
