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:

Hello there, modern man. Are you stuck relying on ED pills just

Speaker:

to perform well? Discover the hidden danger no one talking

Speaker:

about and how you can break free for good. I'm Dr Anne Truong.

Speaker:

I'm a sexual health medical doctor. I've treated over 7000

Speaker:

men with ED.

Speaker:

Look, if you're thinking, "I just need the right pill for my

Speaker:

ED," this video may make you a little uncomfortable, but it

Speaker:

could also save your life and your sex life. Because here's

Speaker:

the truth, those little blue pill, yellow, or generic pills

Speaker:

were never designed to fix the actual ED problem. They were

Speaker:

designed to help you get through the night while the real issue

Speaker:

quietly gets worse in the background. In this video, the

Speaker:

hidden danger relying on ED pills will be broken down and

Speaker:

the things most doctors are not explaining to you in a seven

Speaker:

minute visit, and how treating the natural root cause, pill

Speaker:

free approach through the Get Hard System will be layout so

Speaker:

you can rebuild strong, reliable erection again without being

Speaker:

chained to a prescription bottle. Stay to the end,

Speaker:

especially if pills have stopped working as well for you and

Speaker:

never really or stay to the end, especially if pills have stopped

Speaker:

working for you or that you don't want to take a pill.

Speaker:

So this is your doctor pill first playbook. Let's be honest

Speaker:

about how this actually goes. Here you finally work up the

Speaker:

courage to talk about ED to your doctor. They do a quick history,

Speaker:

check your blood pressure, and say, "Well, let's try Viagra or

Speaker:

Cialis. You walk out with a prescription and a little bit of

Speaker:

hope. But here is what almost never gets said. No deep

Speaker:

discussion about your blood vessel, about the fact that ED

Speaker:

is often an early warning sign of heart disease. You know that

Speaker:

67% of men get a heart attack 7 to 10 years after diagnosis of

Speaker:

ED. No one said that to you, did they? And that no real plan has

Speaker:

been discussed to fix the cause of your ED or maybe even look at

Speaker:

your testosterone, look at your nerve, or look at your diet or

Speaker:

and your exercise plan, and no explanation to you. On top of

Speaker:

that, whether these pills are a repair or they're just symptom

Speaker:

managers. It is not that your doctor is not good, it's just

Speaker:

that the system is rushed. They don't have times, and pills are

Speaker:

the fastest box to check. But when ED is treated this way, it

Speaker:

is like putting duct tape over a warning light on your car

Speaker:

dashboard and pretending the engine is fine.

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:

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

Speaker:

Hidden danger number one, pills train your body to depend on

Speaker:

them. Have you ever wondered why pills stop working, or why

Speaker:

you're still struggling even after taking ED meds? Well, it's

Speaker:

not just in your head. You don't have to settle for the side

Speaker:

effects or the frustration. The first hidden danger is that

Speaker:

psychological and behavioral dependent. So what it means is

Speaker:

that every time you want to be intimate, you reach for that

Speaker:

pill, just in case your brain and your body start to get the

Speaker:

message, "I cannot perform without this." That belief alone

Speaker:

can fuel performance anxiety. Now it is not just "Can I get it

Speaker:

up? Is it? What if I forgot my pill? Or what if the pill does

Speaker:

not kick in fast enough over time?" this can erode your

Speaker:

natural confidence and desire, make spontaneous, playful sex

Speaker:

feel stressful and schedule turn intimacy into a medical

Speaker:

procedure instead of a connection. The tragic part,

Speaker:

many men actually perform better naturally if their underlying

Speaker:

issues were addressed, but they never give their body a chance,

Speaker:

because they have been conditioned to think that the

Speaker:

pill is doing all the work.

Speaker:

Hidden danger number two, pills ignore the real problem, right?

Speaker:

Pills can make you feel good enough to ignore serious health

Speaker:

issues. Erection are all about blood flow, nerve function and

Speaker:

hormone. When erection weakens, it often means blood vessels are

Speaker:

stiffening, nerves are irritated or damaged, or hormones like

Speaker:

testosterone is out of balance. When a pill gets you enough just

Speaker:

to get by, it is very tempting to think problem solved.

Speaker:

However, blood pressure may go creeping up. Blood sugar and

Speaker:

insulin resistance are damaging your arteries and your nerve.

Speaker:

Cholesterol, inflammation is accelerating plaque buildup,

Speaker:

which means decreased blood flow. So ED is one of the

Speaker:

earliest visible red flag of heart disease. For some men, it

Speaker:

shows up years before a heart attack. Like if you have ED, 67%

Speaker:

of you may have a heart attack 7 to 10 year down the road. If

Speaker:

that happened, well, here's a pill. See you next year. Well,

Speaker:

you lose the chance to catch and reverse what is really going on.

Speaker:

The longer the root causes are ignored, the more erectile

Speaker:

tissue itself can scarred and weaken, making future recovery

Speaker:

even harder.

Speaker:

Hidden danger number three, not every man responds, and often

Speaker:

responds fade. Meaning you are rarely told this in the office,

Speaker:

but a significant proportion of men do not get a good response

Speaker:

to ED meds. About 25% to 30% men who respond at first notice the

Speaker:

effect of fading over time. A lot of men simply stop refilling

Speaker:

their prescription after a few months. Why? Because if your

Speaker:

foundation, your vascular system or your blood flow system, your

Speaker:

hormones and your psychological health stays poor, the pill is

Speaker:

fighting a losing battle. So what happens next? Men start

Speaker:

chasing higher doses. They try stacking different meds on top

Speaker:

of each other, risking blood pressure problem, and they feel

Speaker:

more broken each time something does not work. No one explained

Speaker:

that the house is sinking. They keep being so new paint, if you

Speaker:

know what I mean.

Speaker:

Hidden danger number four, side effects and blind spots. ED

Speaker:

pills are generally safe when used correctly and screened

Speaker:

properly. But safe does not mean no issue. Common side effects

Speaker:

like headache, flushing, nasal congestion, stomach upset are

Speaker:

annoying enough. Some men experience visual changes, back

Speaker:

pain. In some men, certain heart medication, like nitrate, can

Speaker:

cause dangerous outright low blood pressure.

Speaker:

The problem is not that the pill exists. The problem is when it

Speaker:

is handed out without a serious look at your heart, your blood

Speaker:

flow, a conversation about how to reduce your independence over

Speaker:

time, or roadmap for what to do if or when the pills stop

Speaker:

working. This is what most men never hear. Pills are tool, not

Speaker:

a plan. Why the right pill myth keeps you stuck. The belief is

Speaker:

just, I just need the right pill is seductive because it promises

Speaker:

that you don't have to do anything. It's easy, it's quick

Speaker:

and no real effort, but it keeps you stuck in three ways. You

Speaker:

stay focused on tonight, not the next 20 or the next 20 years of

Speaker:

your health. You never build a habit and actually repair your

Speaker:

erection from the inside out. Tou start to see yourself

Speaker:

dependent upon the medication for an erection response that

Speaker:

should be so natural to you. So if the only strategy is keeping

Speaker:

trying different pills, then you are living on borrowed time,

Speaker:

guys, because you are gambling with not only your sex life, but

Speaker:

also your health as well. That's why I created the Get Hard

Speaker:

System, a pill free roadmap program to get you out of the

Speaker:

pill. The Get Hard System is designed to do what pills

Speaker:

cannot, identify and repair the root cause of your ED so your

Speaker:

body can go back to what it is designed to do. To get natural

Speaker:

erection every time without a pill, so you can position it

Speaker:

clearly. And simply it's not just positive thinking or eat

Speaker:

better and exercise. It is not a bag of random supplements on the

Speaker:

internet. It is a structured medical and lifestyle system

Speaker:

built around how erection actually work. Think of it as

Speaker:

upgrading the entire erection ecosystem, your blood vessel,

Speaker:

your nerve, your hormone, your brain and your relationship.

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 to find your real "Why," stop guessing. Get inside the Get

Speaker:

Hard System. The first phase focuses on deep assessment, so

Speaker:

you can find out exactly where your erections are struggling.

Speaker:

That includes comprehensive lab, comprehensive sexual history,

Speaker:

and what are your morning erection like. What's your porn

Speaker:

use, stress, relationship dynamic. And then we look at

Speaker:

your blood sugar, we look at your insulin, your hormones and

Speaker:

medication. And if appropriate, we can test the nerve or the

Speaker:

pelvic floor health as well. The goal is answer one question,

Speaker:

what is your personal combination of causes and what

Speaker:

is the shortest path to fix them once that map is clear. The plan

Speaker:

is no longer random, it is precise. Next phase is rebuild

Speaker:

your erection foundation. Next the Get Hard System focuses on

Speaker:

rebuilding your foundation so your body becomes erection

Speaker:

friendly again. This is where lifestyle medicine turned from

Speaker:

vague into actionable protocol. We look at your nutrition and

Speaker:

recommend the appropriate nutrition you need to be on,

Speaker:

which is the Mediterranean diet, exercise, training, doing

Speaker:

weights and also cardio to boost your circulation and to also

Speaker:

boost your testosterone. Sleep, seven hours of deep sleep that

Speaker:

will regulate your hormone and reset your energy again, and a

Speaker:

habit such as decreasing smoking, decrease alcohol and

Speaker:

stress management, the point is not perfection. The point is

Speaker:

progress that directly translate into better blood flow, better

Speaker:

hormone, and better erection. And so I also use advanced tools

Speaker:

strategically.

Speaker:

So if you have long standing ED that result in blood vessel

Speaker:

damage, nerve damage, or have failed ED, you may need more

Speaker:

tools, such as doing stem cell therapy, which is your own blood

Speaker:

platelet-rich plasma, such as focus shock wave, such as Botox,

Speaker:

which all restore blood flow again in the area where is

Speaker:

needed the most, in your penis. Every tool is chosen to move you

Speaker:

towards independence, not dependence on pill. And so we

Speaker:

also work on resetting your mind and how you think about sexual

Speaker:

relations as well too, and reframe it in a more positive

Speaker:

light. So let's bring all this together to all these things,

Speaker:

from the Get Hard System is to do one thing to stop you

Speaker:

depending on pill to pill, get you to get morning erection

Speaker:

again, help you feel stronger, leaner, more energized, and that

Speaker:

get your sex life back again. So you are on the right path to a

Speaker:

healthy sex life. The Get Hard System addresses this right at

Speaker:

the root core.

Speaker:

So if you're tired of gambling on another pill and hoping this

Speaker:

one will finally fix everything. This is your moment. Do not wait

Speaker:

Speaker:
