That quiet frustration builds when erectile dysfunction doesn’t improve the way you expected, leaving you wondering what you’re missing. The truth is, there’s a layer to this problem that most people never talk about, and once you see it, everything starts to make a lot more sense.

There’s a bigger picture at play, one that connects your body in ways you may not have considered.

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:

If you've been watching my videos for a while now,

Speaker:

following all the tips that I give you, and you're still not

Speaker:

where you want to be, this video is for you. Because the question

Speaker:

I get most often is, "Dr Anne, I tried everything. Why am I still

Speaker:

stuck in ED, is this just my life now?" And I need you to

Speaker:

hear this from me, Dr Anne, right now. Clearly, no, this is

Speaker:

not just your life. And no, you have not tried everything.

Speaker:

I'm Dr Anne Truong, I treated over 7000 men with erectile

Speaker:

dysfunction over 20 years, and I want to apologize. I now have

Speaker:

really bad allergies, and my voice is hoarse, so I hope this

Speaker:

will land okay with you.

Speaker:

I want to acknowledge something. If you've been showing up on my

Speaker:

channel month after month, trying to fix this on your own.

Speaker:

It takes courage. It takes discipline. Most men don't even

Speaker:

get that far. They just pop a pill and hope for the best. So I

Speaker:

see you and I respect you, but here's the hard truth I want to

Speaker:

share with you today, and it's actually good news once you

Speaker:

understand it. The reason you're still stuck is not because

Speaker:

you're doing something wrong. It's because what you're

Speaker:

experiencing is more complex than a YouTube video can fully

Speaker:

fix. And once again, I want to explain everything that's going

Speaker:

to make sense, so stick with me here. So the last 25 years,

Speaker:

after I've treated over 7000 men for erectile dysfunction and the

Speaker:

biggest mistake I see, whether men are trying to fix it

Speaker:

themselves, or whether their primary care doctor give them a

Speaker:

Viagra prescription and call it a day is this. They're treating

Speaker:

one part of the problem when ED is actually live across six

Speaker:

systems of your body. So hang with me here. Hang with me.

Speaker:

So your erection doesn't start in the penis. It actually starts

Speaker:

in the brain and it travels through the five other system in

Speaker:

your body before you ever feel an erection. Think of it like a

Speaker:

beautiful orchestra. Six instruments all have to play in

Speaker:

perfect harmony. If even water is off, the whole symphony falls

Speaker:

apart. And the six systems that create an erection is the brain,

Speaker:

your master control center for sexual arousal. Number two is

Speaker:

your emotion, anxiety, shame, depression, kill erection,

Speaker:

silently. Number three is hormone like testosterone, yes,

Speaker:

but also the full hormonal cascade from head to testicles

Speaker:

as well, too. Number four the nerve, the electrical wiring

Speaker:

that carry the signal down from your brain to your blood vessel,

Speaker:

which also involve your heart. And then the system number five

Speaker:

is the blood vessel, the pipe that deliver blood flow to the

Speaker:

penis from the heart. And then system number six is the muscle,

Speaker:

the penile tissue itself, that must be healthy to trap and hold

Speaker:

the blood. Now, when you follow my tips on YouTube, such as the

Speaker:

Mediterranean diet, the exercise, the sleep habit, you

Speaker:

are absolutely helping some of these system and I'm proud of

Speaker:

you for that. But here's where the ceiling hits. If there's a

Speaker:

structural damage in your blood vessel, if your nerves were

Speaker:

affected by surgery, diabetes or even medication, and if your

Speaker:

testosterone hormones level are clinically off, no diet is going

Speaker:

to fix that on its own. That requires a doctor who can

Speaker:

actually look inside your body, run a comprehensive blood panel

Speaker:

and treat what's actually is broken. Real quick, if you're

Speaker:

thinking, "Dr Anne, that sounds like me. I might have something

Speaker:

more going on." Well, there is a link between this video and book

Speaker:

a free call with my team, a real conversation to figure out

Speaker:

exactly which one of the six system needs attention. It's

Speaker:

discrete and it is confidential. Click the link down below or go

Speaker:

to the URL, Renew With Dr Anne.com

Speaker:

Where can you get the penis pump? You can get the penis pump

Speaker:

at ED No More.com or check the link down below this video to

Speaker:

get the penis pump so you can start exercising your penis

Speaker:

again. Remember, you are only one pump away.

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:

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Let me tell you about Randy. Randy came to me at the age of

Speaker:

78 years old. He's been dealing with ED for 40 years, four

Speaker:

decades. Can you imagine carrying that weight for 40

Speaker:

years? He told me, "Dr Anne, I've tried everything on the

Speaker:

internet. I've seen multiple doctors, nothing worked. My wife

Speaker:

left me. I'm alone. I've lost all my confidence." 40 years and

Speaker:

he's still fighting, still looking for an answer. Randy

Speaker:

came into my clinic. We did a full evaluation, comprehensive

Speaker:

blood work. We identified which of his six system had broken

Speaker:

down over those four decades, and then we treated it, the

Speaker:

system, systematically, one by one, directly at the root. And

Speaker:

with Randy, it was actually more of his hormones, which is

Speaker:

raising up his testosterone and also fixing his diet and his

Speaker:

exercise for improving blood flow. And once we did that,

Speaker:

along with increasing blood flow to his penis with his own stem

Speaker:

cells and doing shock wave therapy and adding Botox. Randy,

Speaker:

guess what? Has erection again. Today, he maintains his

Speaker:

confidence that back. He's dating again at 78 years old. 40

Speaker:

years of suffering, and it took a proper root cause diagnosis to

Speaker:

turn it around. Randy is not unique. It's one of thousands of

Speaker:

men I've seen who came to me after being failed by every

Speaker:

other option they tried or even failed everything. The

Speaker:

difference wasn't that they finally found the right

Speaker:

supplement. It was that someone like myself finally looked at

Speaker:

the whole body and the root cause. I really want to be

Speaker:

direct with you right now, because you deserve honesty.

Speaker:

Taking a supplement, using a penis pump, making lifestyle

Speaker:

changes, those are genuinely helpful tools. I recommend them,

Speaker:

and if you've been doing them, you've made real progress. But

Speaker:

think about it this way, if you have a cavity, you can brush

Speaker:

better, you can floss, you can cut the sugar. Those are great

Speaker:

habit. But you still need a dentist to actually fill the

Speaker:

cavity. So when ED is caused by nerve damage, either from

Speaker:

prostate surgery or nerve damage from years of diabetes or high

Speaker:

blood pressure, or from Peyronie's disease, or from 40

Speaker:

decades of erectile dysfunction, or even hormonal imbalance

Speaker:

across multiple system and poor diet and high blood pressure,

Speaker:

that's not failure on your part, not just biology. And here's

Speaker:

something else I need you to understand something your

Speaker:

regular doctor probably never told you, ED is a warning light.

Speaker:

A check engine light in your body. The exact pathology that

Speaker:

causes ED, that damage the blood vessel, restrict the blood flow,

Speaker:

is the same pathology that leads to heart attack and stroke. The

Speaker:

only difference is that the blood vessel in your penis are

Speaker:

smaller, so they get affected first, before your heart. So men

Speaker:

who ignore ED actually have a 20% higher risk of a fatal,

Speaker:

fatal which means dying, heart attack within 7 to 10 years. So

Speaker:

this is not just about sex this is about your life.

Speaker:

Where can you get the penis pump? You can get the penis pump

Speaker:

at ED No More.com or check the link down below this video to

Speaker:

get the penis pump so you can start exercising your penis

Speaker:

again. Remember, you are only one pump away.

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 what does actually getting to the root cause looks like? Let

Speaker:

me walk you through what we do in my clinic. We call it The Get

Speaker:

Hard System, and it's the only approach I know that

Speaker:

systematically addresses all six system, not just one or two.

Speaker:

Because you deserve to have a comprehensive system, The Get

Speaker:

Hard System. We look at the six system, like I talked about

Speaker:

before, the brain, the emotion, the hormones and the nerve, the

Speaker:

blood vessels and the muscle. We start off with doing a

Speaker:

comprehensive blood work. We look at your whole hormone

Speaker:

panel, from head to your testicle, vascular blood

Speaker:

markers, stress hormone, testosterone and more, and we

Speaker:

find out what's broken. Then we restore blood flow to the penis

Speaker:

by doing the P shot, which is using your own blood, like your

Speaker:

platelets, your own body healing cell to restore blood vessels

Speaker:

and nerve directly inside the penis tissue. Then we do low

Speaker:

intensity focused shockwave therapy, clinically proven to

Speaker:

regenerate blood vessel, improve blood flow and awaken dormant

Speaker:

nerve. And then on top of that, we add in Botox for penile

Speaker:

smooth muscle that relaxes the muscle to allow for maximum

Speaker:

blood flow. Same signs, completely different

Speaker:

application. And then we add a Kegel rehabilitation, which is

Speaker:

pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation that is essential

Speaker:

for erection strength and keeping that erection. On top of

Speaker:

that, we give you an app that you have on your phone that's

Speaker:

called Well World. It's a personalized roadmap that

Speaker:

involved the Mediterranean diet, sleep protocol and exercise and

Speaker:

mindful exercises to integrate into daily support.

Speaker:

Let me tell you about Carl. Carl came to me at the age of 50.

Speaker:

After five years of ED following prostate cancer surgery,

Speaker:

medication didn't work. He didn't want an implant within

Speaker:

one month treatment and following the diet strategy,

Speaker:

he's having morning erection again. Three months in, he's

Speaker:

having sex three times in a weekend.

Speaker:

Terrence is 60. He told me I had an erection that felt like I was

Speaker:

in my 20s. I don't worry about sex anymore. My wife and I are

Speaker:

happy again.

Speaker:

These are real men, real results, not because of magic,

Speaker:

because we finally treated all six systems the way they needed

Speaker:

to be treated. Here's where you are right now. You try the

Speaker:

things you could try on your own. You've shown up, you put in

Speaker:

the work, and something is still missing. You have two paths in

Speaker:

front of you. Path number one, keep doing what you've been

Speaker:

doing and hope something changes. But you know, as well

Speaker:

as I do, doing the same thing and expecting a different result

Speaker:

is not a strategy. And every other month that passes, the

Speaker:

damage get worse and worse. You can do path two. Let someone who

Speaker:

has done this over 25 years, who has helped over 7000 men,

Speaker:

finally look at your specific body, your specific system and

Speaker:

your specific scenario, and build a plan that built for you,

Speaker:

not for the average guy at all. So one of my patients said it

Speaker:

best. He said, Dr Anne, you helped me get hard, stay hard,

Speaker:

so their life is not hard. That's my mission. This is why I

Speaker:

built this practice. You deserve that life.

Speaker:

So here's what I want you to do right now. Below this video,

Speaker:

there is a link to book a free discovery call with my team.

Speaker:

This is not a consultation where someone is going to pressure you

Speaker:

into anything. It's real conversation with people who

Speaker:

have been through this themselves, where we listen to

Speaker:

your story, understand what you already tried, and tell you

Speaker:

honestly whether The Get Hard System is right for you. Men fly

Speaker:

in all over the country for this treatment, but it starts with

Speaker:

that call. We have limited slots available at this time, so if

Speaker:

this video hit home today, don't wait. Click the link below, book

Speaker:

the call, and let's finally figure out what's holding you

Speaker:

back. Because I've seen men in their 70s and 80s get their

Speaker:

lives back. I've seen men who spent decades suffering finally

Speaker:

find the answer they're looking for. You have put in six months

Speaker:

of work watching my videos, or less or more you deserve the

Speaker:

full solution. I'll see you on the other side. Book, the call

Speaker:

today. Remember you do not have to suffer and you are not

Speaker:

broken. I'll see you in the next video.

Speaker:

Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to

Speaker:

suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even

Speaker:

defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of

Speaker:

not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the

Speaker:

truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to

Speaker:

figure this out alone anymore. The Get Wood Now Boost Program

Speaker:

is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and

Speaker:

restoration. No more suffering in silence, no more trial and

Speaker:

error, just real solution, real result and the confidence you

Speaker:
