If you notice that you aren't waking up with morning wood
Speaker:anymore, and you probably tell yourself maybe two things: maybe
Speaker:I'm getting older, maybe there's something wrong with me, right?
Speaker:Most men simply just shrug it off. Some doctors might even
Speaker:tell you normal part of aging. I'm gonna tell you this, it
Speaker:isn't. Clinically nighttime or morning erection or spontaneous
Speaker:morning erection are one of the most sensitive vital signs of
Speaker:your erection. When they are not consistent or gone, your body is
Speaker:sending you a message that says, "You know what? Your hormone,
Speaker:your nervous system, and your blood flow may not be working
Speaker:properly. So I'm gonna break this down exact signs of what's
Speaker:happening when you're not getting morning wood
Speaker:consistently, and the three things that it could mean. So
Speaker:stay tuned to this episode, and you'll be surprised what you're
Speaker:gonna hear as the last one.
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:I'm Dr. Anne Truong. I'm a medical doctor specializing in
Speaker:sexual health. I've treated over 7000 men with ED. So let's dive
Speaker:into this. Let's look at the physiology. So when you're
Speaker:sleeping, like you are in REM sleep or rapid eye movement
Speaker:sleep, so a man typically, believe it or not, had three to
Speaker:six erections when he's sleeping at night or even in the morning,
Speaker:and it lasts from about five minutes to even 30 minutes each
Speaker:time. They aren't just random events. They serve as an
Speaker:essential biology purpose. They bathe your penis tissue in
Speaker:oxygen-rich blood, preventing scar tissue development and
Speaker:maintaining the tissue integrity. To make that happen,
Speaker:three complex biological system must work in perfect synchrony.
Speaker:One, the nerve need to be working well from the brain to
Speaker:the penis.
Speaker:Most men think losing peak performance is just getting old.
Speaker:I would tell you it's not. There's a natural, proven
Speaker:protocol doctors rarely talk about that will restore your
Speaker:confidence without side effects. It is called the My Get Hard
Speaker:System, and you can get that by joining the Modern Man Club
Speaker:today. Go to NoEDMan.com. That's and I'll see you there.
Speaker:Number two, endothelial nitric oxide must be working well. That
Speaker:means that that the blood vessels has to release nitric
Speaker:oxide to open up the arteries. Number three, early morning
Speaker:testosterone surge, the natural peak that occurs after sleep in
Speaker:the morning around 7 a.m. So if you stop having morning
Speaker:erection, it's not an isolated malfunction of the tissue
Speaker:itself. It means one or more of those core system that I just
Speaker:mentioned is under strain.
Speaker:So here's what's happening. So let's talk about hormones. In a
Speaker:landmark European male aging studies, researcher analyzed
Speaker:dozens of symptoms of low testosterone. They discover
Speaker:three symptoms reliably clustered together to signal low
Speaker:testosterone, decrease libido, mild ED, and loss of morning
Speaker:erection. So a morning erection drop off is substantially raises
Speaker:the probability the testosterone deficiency, and that's only half
Speaker:the picture.
Speaker:Quick note before we go any further: if you're a high income
Speaker:man, usually the age between 45 to 85, and you're ready to
Speaker:invest to fix your ED without relying on pills or surgery. I
Speaker:have the Get Hard Protocol In-Office program where we treat
Speaker:you in Virginia. We combine stem cells, shockwave, Botox,
Speaker:hormones, and lifestyle to help restore natural erection. It's
Speaker:not for everyone. You must be able to travel to Virginia and
Speaker:be comfortable investing around $16,000 for your health. If
Speaker:that's you, pause this video for a moment. Click the link down
Speaker:below in the description that says "Get ED Breakthrough with
Speaker:Doctor Anne" and complete the application. If you're not in
Speaker:that position yet, no problem. Keep enjoying this video and
Speaker:check out our Modern Man club at NoEDMan.com.
Speaker:Here's the other part that most clinic miss, ED is an
Speaker:independent early signal marker for heart disease in the future.
Speaker:Research data published across major cardiovascular studies
Speaker:show that true erectile dysfunction occurs before heart
Speaker:disease, before heart attack, before peripheral artery disease
Speaker:by an average of three years, often two to five years before
Speaker:any type of chest pain develop. Men with ED face a 44 to 59%
Speaker:higher risk of cardiovascular event or heart disease event,
Speaker:and a 62% higher risk of an acute heart attack, and a 39
Speaker:higher risk of a stroke. Why did this happen? They call it the
Speaker:artery size hypothesis. That means that the penis arteries
Speaker:are one to two millimeter in size, and the heart arteries are
Speaker:about three to four millimeter in size. So when systemic
Speaker:inflammation start, like high cholesterol, insulin resistance,
Speaker:and endothelial dysfunction happening that make the arteries
Speaker:stiff, where do you think the blockage start to flow first? It
Speaker:starts in your pipe in your penis. So your sexual health is
Speaker:literally the check engine for your heart three years before
Speaker:then. So that means that when you have less morning erection
Speaker:or even ED, it's a signaling that you may have heart disease
Speaker:three years down the road.
Speaker:Now, I want to clarify an important distinction. Not all
Speaker:ED is identical, and the pattern recognition is where it
Speaker:clinically matters. If you're a younger man, younger mean less
Speaker:than 40, and experience a sudden onset of difficulty strictly
Speaker:with a partner, but still wake up with morning erection, has
Speaker:zero issues when alone, that strongly point towards more of
Speaker:psychogenic response, such as stress, anxiety, performance
Speaker:anxiety. However, when morning erection disappears across the
Speaker:board and decline is generalized and gradual, the probabilities
Speaker:shift towards more of physical cause, such as like poor blood
Speaker:flow, more hormones, and sleep disruption. A quick prescription
Speaker:of a blue pill doesn't fix the underlying plumbing, nor does it
Speaker:address why your blood vessel lost its capacity to bring in
Speaker:more blood flow. So masking the symptoms with the ED medicine is
Speaker:leaving your long-term health a chance. Would you want to do
Speaker:that? If you notice this shift of less morning wood, whether it
Speaker:starts in months or years, is quietly creeping up on you, do
Speaker:not ignore it, and do not accept surface-level reassurance, and
Speaker:do not take the ED medication because in our clinic we don't
Speaker:treat your sex life in a vacuum. We treat it as an essential
Speaker:window into your heart health, your hormone health as well.
Speaker:So this is why we created the Get Hard System. So when you
Speaker:come to the office, we run rigorous blood tests, look at
Speaker:all the inflammation markers. We look at your blood flow. We look
Speaker:at your hormones. We look at your nerve. We look all your
Speaker:metabolic and your lipid markers to determine your heart risk and
Speaker:objectively pinpoint what is the cause of your ED. Is it blood
Speaker:flow? Is it hormone? Is it nerve? Is it psychological? Is
Speaker:it lifestyle driven? Our objective isn't just restoring
Speaker:your erection again; it's protecting your heart,
Speaker:optimizing your energy, and helping you regain your health
Speaker:again. If you're ready to stop guessing and get real,
Speaker:definitive answer from a team that specializes in this exact
Speaker:physiology, click the link below to see if you can schedule an ED

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.
