This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,

your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best

selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll

do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how

it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get

started, and be sure to visit my website at

sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and

resources from the show. See you on the inside.

You try pills, you try supplement, maybe a testosterone

cream or injection from those online clinic, maybe even some

clinic with you may have shockwave or some other

treatment, and you're still stuck. And if you're anything

like the men I see in my office, you're not just only frustrated,

you're starting to wonder if this is who you're going to be

from now on, and you're stuck.

Well, I'm Dr Anne Truong. I'm a board certified physician. For

past 25 years of I've treated over 7000 men with erectile

dysfunction. I want to tell you something that nobody else has

told you. You didn't fail. The tools fail you. So stay with me

on this episode, because in the next few minutes, I'm going to

show you exactly why everything you tried hasn't worked and what

actually will.

Let me tell you what I hear every single week in my clinic,

men come in and they say, "Dr Anne, I've tried everything. I

took Viagra, Cialis, maybe it worked for a while, and then it

stopped. I've done the testosterone supplement, the

testosterone injection, the herb, the zinc, the ashwagandha.

I took the supplement," and they read article. They research

YouTube video. Maybe they even saw another doctor who told

them, your testosterone is fine. And then send them home. And

guess what? They are still stuck. And what most men don't

say out loud, but I can see in their eyes as this, I'm starting

to think this is permanent. Well, I have to live with this.

I want to be very direct with you that thought, the feeling

that you are somehow the exception, the one person that

cannot be fixed, that is not the truth. That happens when the

wrong tools are applied to a problem that wasn't properly

diagnosed. Take for Randy. Randy had ED for 40 years. He was 78

years old, an age where most men would just say, "Well, I'll just

live with it," right? Well, but he doesn't. He came to my

office. He said that he had tried everything on the

internet, multiple doctors, nothing has worked. His wife

even left him. He was alone. He said, "I was ashamed, but I

wanted to see if there is another chance." So he came to

see me, and now, after treatment with the Get Hard System, he's

having an erection. He's maintaining it and keeping it,

and he's now regaining confidence, and now he knows

that he can perform, and he's back on the dating scene again.

So nothing is irreversible. So let this land 40 years, 78 years

old, and we reverse it. That's it. Just know that you are not

broken and that it can be fixed with the right tools.

Here's what most men and most doctors don't understand about

erectile dysfunction. An erection is not a simple thing.

It is not just blood flow, it is not just testosterone, it is not

just stress. An erection is a symphony. It is a beautiful

symphony that our body has to respond to, and it requires six

different biological system in your body, from your brain all

the way down to your penis, to play in perfect coordination.

The six systems of erection are, one the brain. Every erection

starts here, not in the penis. The brain sends the ignition

signal, stress, trauma and even nerve disruption can cut off

that signal before it even reaches the body, and it's game

over, guys. If it doesn't start in the brain, it not going to go

anywhere below the belt. System number two, this need to work in

Symphony now with system number one, system number two.

System number two, is the emotion. Anxiety and performance

fear are not weakness. They are biochemical events that shut

down the sexual response cascade so you cannot overthink or

discipline your way out of this. In fact, you have to relax in

order for the signal from the brain to move to your emotion to

go to the next step.

And the next system is the hormone. Testosterone is just

one fuse in a 10 fused electrical box. It's a full

hormonal cascade, such as thyroid, cortisol, estradiol,

dihydrotestosterone, prolactin. All must be in balance that most

men have only one fuse to check, which is testosterone, but you

need to check the whole spectrum of the hormone that is released.

System number four, the nerve. These are electrical signal that

travel the nerve down from the brain to the blood vessel,

diabetes, prostate, surgery and even certain medication can

damage these pathways over the years.

System number five, an erection is fundamentally a blood flow

event, and the penile arteries are smaller than the heart

artery, so they show vascular damage first. So ED is often a

vascular problem before it become a cardiac one.

Men, struggling to stay hard? Most of the time it comes down

to poor blood flow. That's why I put together the Good Morning

Wood smoothie, a nutrient packed blend designed to restore blood

flow naturally. My patient often notice improvement in just a few

weeks when they take this part of their daily routine. Click

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

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

System number six, the penile muscle. The corpus cavernosum is

a muscle. It required blood flow, nerve input and regular

use to stay healthy. Without treatment, it can stiffen up and

atrophy over time.

Now I want to ask you a question. When you took viagra,

how many of those six systems was it addressing? One

temporarily blood flow for a few hours. But when you order the

testosterone cream online. How many system was it addressing?

Even, not only cream, but even injection, one? Well, it only

increased testosterone. That's it. It ignores the other five

system. So when you took the herbal supplement, which one of

the six system was it actually helping? None of them. So that's

not a failure on your part. That's just honest math. Here's

an analogy I use with my patient. Imagine you have a

cavity and you can brush better, you can floss better, you can

cut the sugar and all that will slow the decay. But there's only

one point where no amount of brushing fixes the cavity. You

need a dentist to remove the decay and fill it. So ED caused

by damaged blood vessel that requires clinical repair. ED

caused by nerve damage from prostate surgery that requires

clinical intervention. ED caused my hormones imbalance that

nobody ever fully measure that requires a specialist who

actually looks for it. So this is not a willpower problem. This

is not an age problem. It's a biological problem, and it can

be fixed.

Now I have to tell you something that your regular doctor

probably hasn't told you, and I'll tell you this not to

frighten you. I tell you this because it is true and you

deserve to know. What happens when ED goes untreated? The

blood vessels in your penis are smaller than the one in your

heart, so they show damage first. So ED is often the first

sign of heart disease. So if you have ED, five years down the

road you may have heart attack. So just know that 67% of men

with untreated ED will have a heart attack in seven to 10

years, and 7% of those are fatal a heart attack. So ED is

moderate today, typically will become severe in about 18 months

without proper intervention. Penis tissue that could be

recovering right now may become permanently atrophy or get

smaller in three years without treatment. Viagra and ciliate,

they do not slow this progression. They mask the

symptoms while the underlying damage continue. So I want you

to sit with that for a moment here. Okay, just let that sink

in, because I see men every week who spent 5, 10, 15 years

managing ED with a pill while the real problem keep getting

worse. Now, would you do that to your heart? No. So ED is just

not about sex. It is a signal. Is a signal that will deserve

real answer and real intervention. So in 25 years,

I've watched men fall into the three patterns when they hit

this wall.

First one is denial. "It's not that bad. I'll just pop the pill

when I need to. It will work. It work for now." Remember, but the

pill is only a band aid on an infected wound, and the wound

will get continue to be infected until you require an amputation.

So the wound will get the worse over time. Trust me, your ED

will not go away if you take the Cialis or Viagra.

Number two, distraction, avoiding your partner, avoiding

intimacy, filling the space with work or watching TV or anything,

that means that you don't have to face it. But avoidance is not

a strategy, it's just a slower kind of loss, and you know that

you're not addressing ED head on.

And the third excuse is more of the same, another supplement,

another research, another online clinic, another Google search at

two in the morning. Listen, ED is complex, guys. Oftentimes you

really need to see the specialist to figure this out,

especially if the medication is not working for you. But don't

even start with the medication, because if you start with the

medication, you're going to go down a black hole at this time.

So I want you to start thinking about that you go to a

specialist that's been doing this for a while.

So if you are on this three path, let the three path lead

anywhere that's going to find you a solution. I know this

because I've sat across men who took all three for years before

they come and see me in the clinic, and I want you to hear

what they say after the treatment. Like, for instance,

Carl. Carl had prostate cancer, had surgery that removed the

prostate, was suffering with ED for five years. The doctor keep

giving him medication, and it didn't work. And the doctor

said, "Well, maybe you need a penile implant." He was 50 years

old, and he said, "No, no, no. I'm not ready for that yet." He

joined the Modern Man Club and started instituting what I teach

about, the Get Hard System. And within about one to two months,

he was getting morning wood again. And after three months,

he's having sex three times in the weekend, his girlfriend came

and he started to enjoy life again. He said, I have more

confidence in and out the bedroom. I noticed morning

erection three to five times a week now. So what I want to tell

you that even with prostate removal, you can still do well.

So what do you do when you try everything and you're still

stuck? You stop trying single tools out of six system problem.

That is exactly why the Get Hard System evolved. It is the only

protocol that systematically evaluate and treat all six

biological system for every man individually, no guessing, no

generic plans, no one size fits all. Okay, so step one is that

we address the hormones. We address the inflammation of the

blood vessel where I do a full blood evaluation of all your

hormones and what inflammation is going on. Step two, we

reverse the blood flow problem with using your own stem cells,

such as the platelets from your blood, to restore more blood

flow to your penis. We do shockwave therapy, again, to

restore more blood flow to the penis and get rid of all the

scar tissue that is in there. Step four, the Botox, which is

very interestingly, it relaxes the penis, so the penis can be

able to get engorged with blood. If the penis is not relaxed, it

will not be able to fill with blood. And then step five is

Kegel rehabilitation. This is the physician guided protocol to

rebuild your pelvic floor again, because the pelvic floor muscles

are the one that keep the blood in the penis, to keep it rigid

and to keep it firm for functionality. And then step six

is for you to continue with the diet, the exercise, the sleep

optimization that you need to do on a daily basis. We give you

that in an app in your pocket for you to use every day. So

Randy 78, he had 40 years, is able to reverse it. Carl had

prostate surgery, able to reverse it as well. So this

protocol is designed to fix the six system to get your body

working again.
