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:

How to make him hard again after he comes? He doesn't get hard

Speaker:

for a second round. Men usually have a time where they cannot

Speaker:

get another erection, so you have to wait. Sometimes hours,

Speaker:

sometimes the next day, depending on how young he is. If

Speaker:

he's young, it could be 15 minutes or an hour. But men have

Speaker:

a time period where they cannot have another erection. So it

Speaker:

depends on how young they are, how healthy they are, in order

Speaker:

for them to get another erection as well. Okay? So that is

Speaker:

expected. It's not unusual at all. All right? That is

Speaker:

expected. And the older they are, the longer is the time. For

Speaker:

women, that doesn't happen. Women can have multiple orgasm

Speaker:

at one time or multiple ejaculation at one time, but not

Speaker:

for men.

Speaker:

Is there a treatment for retrograde ejaculation caused

Speaker:

after having surgery to get small portion of the bladder

Speaker:

removed? Wow, you're probably having that because you probably

Speaker:

have scar tissue that is preventing the prostate from

Speaker:

propelling the semen out. So this is your bladder. So you

Speaker:

said you had surgery to remove portion of your bladder. So your

Speaker:

bladder, the urethra, the tube that comes out from your

Speaker:

bladder, goes through your prostate. This is your prostate

Speaker:

here, and then the urethra. See this tube right here, goes to

Speaker:

the penis, right? So when you have your bladder removed, this

Speaker:

right here is called a seminal vesicle, which is where sperm is

Speaker:

stored, which is then released into the prostate, and the

Speaker:

prostate mix semen, the fluid that is mixing with the sperm.

Speaker:

So when you have bladder surgery, probably for the

Speaker:

surgery itself, or healing from the surgery, it causes scar

Speaker:

tissue that is close to the prostate, and that way the scar

Speaker:

tissue, it's affecting how the prostate propel the semen out

Speaker:

outside, but now it's going back. So what's happening is

Speaker:

that there's scar tissue in there. So it will be worthwhile,

Speaker:

and we can help you with this in the office. Is that we do a

Speaker:

prostate protocol to shrink the prostate, and then also to

Speaker:

shrink the prostate, and then you probably need a little bit

Speaker:

of stem cell in the prostate to restore more blood flow as well.

Speaker:

That's what we do. We inject in your own stem cell your body

Speaker:

into the prostate to restore more blood flow. And then we

Speaker:

also do the electromagnetic therapy from here into the

Speaker:

rectal so that way the prostate itself doesn't become flowing

Speaker:

up, and that's what causes the retrograde ejaculation. But

Speaker:

also, don't neglect pelvic muscles. These are the pelvic

Speaker:

muscles right here, and these muscles here are the muscles

Speaker:

that contract and propel the semen to come out through the

Speaker:

penis. So these pelvic muscles here can be weak. So when it's

Speaker:

weak, it may not propel the semen to come out and also

Speaker:

retrograde. So in our prostate protocol, we also do

Speaker:

neuromuscular strengthening these muscles as well, too. That

Speaker:

we put machine that does strengthening or contraction of

Speaker:

the pelvic muscles here, and that will make it stronger so it

Speaker:

can propel the semen out. So there's three different ways the

Speaker:

retrograde ejaculation usually mean that the prostate is not

Speaker:

functioning correctly. And don't forget the pelvic muscle. These

Speaker:

are what we call Kegel, Kegel muscles. Okay? These pelvic

Speaker:

muscles wrap around the base of the penis, so to help keep the

Speaker:

blood inside the penis.

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:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

So if you are pre diabetic, overweight, have stress, and

Speaker:

your diet is pretty poor, is that the main blame for the

Speaker:

problem of ED, or is it on the head? Well, it's probably the

Speaker:

main blame for the problem of ED. It's not in your head,

Speaker:

because if you fix your diet and follow the Mediterranean diet,

Speaker:

this is the QR code I'm putting here, you'll see the free link

Speaker:

for to get the Mediterranean diet. Follow the Mediterranean

Speaker:

diet, your blood sugar will go down. You will lose weight. You

Speaker:

will notice your erection improving, and you will see a

Speaker:

difference. Like I said, with four pillars of sexual health,

Speaker:

diet, exercise, sleep, stress. So you are right on that there,

Speaker:

that you're overweight, you're diabetic, and you also have

Speaker:

stress. All you need to do is follow the Mediterranean diet,

Speaker:

walk 30 minutes every other day, get your seven hours of sleep.

Speaker:

Okay? And you will notice your reaction improving. You will

Speaker:

notice even morning wood, it takes about 90 days, it's about

Speaker:

three months for it to work. So it's not in your head. Trust me,

Speaker:

it's not in your head. Men with diabetes are five times more at

Speaker:

risk to have ED than men without diabetes. And pre diabetic,

Speaker:

you're on your way to diabetes if you don't change your diet,

Speaker:

but you are five times more likely to have ED than somebody

Speaker:

that is not a diabetic. So your ED fix is simple. Follow the

Speaker:

Mediterranean diet, just eat chicken, fish, pork every day,

Speaker:

and one of those, eat less red meat. On your plate, fill it

Speaker:

half with vegetables, any vegetable. Potatoes are actually

Speaker:

very good, like baked potato. Don't put a lot of the garnishes

Speaker:

on there. Don't put a lot of the butter and, you know, sour cream

Speaker:

and all of that on there. If you grill the potato, or if you

Speaker:

roast the potato, so if you cut the potato out, you just spray

Speaker:

it with some olive oil, put a little bit of salt, little bit

Speaker:

of pepper on it, put it in the oven about 420 degrees for about

Speaker:

five to seven minutes. Very tasty. Potato as a whole, it's

Speaker:

actually very good. It's not considered a bad carb at all. I

Speaker:

just given you my favorite potato recipe. It will take you

Speaker:

10 minutes to make it, and you want to eat the potato with the

Speaker:

skin on it as well. Simple, just olive oil, salt and pepper,

Speaker:

throw it in the oven, or you can even throw it in air fryer and

Speaker:

pick potato option, cook it. So the Mediterranean diet is more

Speaker:

lean meat, more vegetables, eat fruit. Eat anything that the

Speaker:

Earth grows for you. The Earth doesn't grow French fries. Earth

Speaker:

doesn't grow a donut. Earth doesn't grow dessert. Eat what

Speaker:

the Earth grows for you, essentially. Just eat less red

Speaker:

meat. But you can reverse your ED. Start now. And the last

Speaker:

thing you want to do is to take Viagra or Cialis.

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:

Where can I buy the penis pump? You can buy that my store,

Speaker:

Modern Man Crib, or you can just go to ED No More.com. There you

Speaker:

go. That's where you get the penis pump. One last question.

Speaker:

So this is the same question that the follow up from "can he

Speaker:

have an erection? It takes him around three to four hours."

Speaker:

That is totally normal. How come a man can't get another reaction

Speaker:

after he ejaculate? And I said, that's totally normal. And if he

Speaker:

takes him three to four hours, totally normal. That means he's

Speaker:

doing good. That's the normal time frame. So buy the pump at

Speaker:

ED No More.com. Guys and man, you know, I've given you a lot

Speaker:

of wisdom today. What your takeaway is this is that you can

Speaker:

fix your ED. You don't need me. Honestly, you don't need me. You

Speaker:

can fix your ED. My goal is for empower you to fix this

Speaker:

yourself. Don't let ED run your life, and it's time you take

Speaker:

control. But you have to do the work. It's like losing weight.

Speaker:

You have to do the work to reverse it. There's no magic

Speaker:

pill. There's no magic button. You have to do the work, guys,

Speaker:

but you can do it. And there's four things that's it. This is

Speaker:

all you need to do. It doesn't cost you anymore. Well, maybe

Speaker:

get the penis pump. I believe that the penis pump really,

Speaker:

truly is your best weapon to exercise your penis. So the four

Speaker:

things, diet, Mediterranean diet, the second is exercise 30

Speaker:

minutes every other day, even just mean walking. Even just

Speaker:

mean walking around the parking lot, going up and down the

Speaker:

stairs, even just mean doing, push up, doing stand up,

Speaker:

whatever. Do exercise. Sleep seven hours at night, stop

Speaker:

smoking, stop porn, and moderate your alcohol. And then stress

Speaker:

reduction. And I know stress reduction is hard for men. My

Speaker:

husband internalizes stress too. But if you exercise, that's a

Speaker:

way of stress reduction. Or if you do stuff that make you feel

Speaker:

happy, that's another way of stress reduction. Or doing yoga,

Speaker:

doing meditation, such as box breathing, doing meditation, and

Speaker:

then also do box breathing that I talked about earlier. But the

Speaker:

one thing I want you to take away from this is that you are

Speaker:

in control. Don't let ED run your life, because I've seen

Speaker:

many men give up. They give up too early. I want you to know

Speaker:

what's possible for you. I want you to know that you can do

Speaker:

this. It will take time, but you will see the result.

Speaker:

How can people in the UK get you as their doctor? Because I love

Speaker:

what you do for men. Follow me on YouTube. I give you all the

Speaker:

things you need to do. Honestly, you don't need to see me. You

Speaker:

don't need a doctor. All you need is probably a doctor to get

Speaker:

blood work. That's it. Get blood work. But honestly, I just

Speaker:

giving you the roadmap. I am. You don't need to see a doctor.

Speaker:

If you have ED, guys, all I want you to know is that you are in

Speaker:

control, that you can do something about it. Don't let ED

Speaker:

run your life. Get your blood work, find out if you're

Speaker:

diabetic, find out if you have high cholesterol, and find out

Speaker:

if your kidneys are okay, find out if you're anemic. That's how

Speaker:

what blood work will help you with. In the way you can really

Speaker:

solve your ed by the four pillars, diet, exercise, sleep,

Speaker:

stress, really honestly. That is your roadmap there. If you start

Speaker:

now and be consistent every day, be consistent, you will see

Speaker:

result. You will see result within 90 days. Some of my

Speaker:

patients are seeing result within six weeks. And then you

Speaker:

add the penis pump with that, then you add the Good Morning

Speaker:

Wood smoothie, then you add the nitric oxide along with that,

Speaker:

that will all help. But you still got to do the four

Speaker:

pillars, which is fixing your own internal foundation, which

Speaker:

is the diet and the exercise and the sleep. You got to fix that

Speaker:

first. If you don't fix that, no supplement will do. And use the

Speaker:

penis pump. So you don't need to see a doctor. You just need to

Speaker:

know what's possible. You just need to know that you don't need

Speaker:

to be run by ED. You can control it, but you got to do the work.

Speaker:

So I hope this is helpful. If you haven't subscribed to the

Speaker:

channel yet, I'm much appreciative if you do, because

Speaker:

my goal is to show you what's possible. And my goal is to show

Speaker:

you that you can do it and you don't have to let ED run your

Speaker:

life. Thank you so much for being with me. We'll hope to see

Speaker:

you next time and follow me on the channel at Dr Anne Truong,

Speaker:

take care.

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:

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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