Shownotes

Dr. Geo welcomes Dr. Peter Bajic, Medical Director for Urology at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus and Director of Men's Health at the Glickman Urological Institute, for an evidence-based conversation about erectile dysfunction, testosterone, Peyronie's disease, and the biggest myths in men's sexual medicine.

They explore why erections reflect cardiovascular health, why "venous leak" is often misunderstood, how GLP-1 medications may temporarily influence testosterone during weight loss, and when testosterone replacement therapy is actually appropriate.

The episode also covers Peyronie's disease, treatment options including daily tadalafil and traction therapy, and practical lifestyle changes that can improve both sexual function and long-term health.

If you've ever wondered whether ED is psychological, physical, hormonal—or all three—this episode delivers clear answers backed by today's science.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why erectile dysfunction often predicts cardiovascular disease
  • The truth about "venous leak"
  • How erections actually work
  • Psychological vs. physical causes of ED
  • GLP-1 medications and testosterone explained
  • When testosterone replacement is appropriate
  • The biggest myths about Peyronie's disease
