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:

"I am 32. I noticed I'm not as horny as I used to be, but I am

Speaker:

athletic. Do you think weed is bad for blood flow?" Yes, weed

Speaker:

is bad for blood flow. Weed is not something your body makes.

Speaker:

If you put in a foreign substance in your body, then

Speaker:

your body is not going to agree with it, okay? And weed also

Speaker:

make you kind of apathetic. So I don't know how much you smoke,

Speaker:

is it every day, or is it every day or large amount, but it does

Speaker:

make you apathetic. In my experience, when I see young men

Speaker:

that smoke weed, it tend to add to their ED and their anxiety as

Speaker:

well too, because weed also add to paranoia. As you're athletic,

Speaker:

that's great. You're young, you can definitely reverse your

Speaker:

libido. So you're not as horny, that means that probably your

Speaker:

testosterone is low or low arousal, decreased sensitivity.

Speaker:

So stop the weed. Give it 90 days and see where you're at.

Speaker:

You're young, you're athletic, you should be able to reverse

Speaker:

that no problem. Get your testosterone level checked by

Speaker:

blood work. You go get the blood work done. In fact, you don't

Speaker:

even need an order for blood work for testosterone. In one of

Speaker:

my video, I talk about the blood work that you need to get if you

Speaker:

have ED. So look for that video. But if you're going to get

Speaker:

testosterone level, you should be getting a total testosterone,

Speaker:

free testosterone, and sex hormone bin globulin or SHBG on

Speaker:

your blood work to look at your testosterone. Well, we're seeing

Speaker:

more younger men now with lower testosterone, and that's because

Speaker:

of no exercise, poor diet, poor sleep and porn and smoking and

Speaker:

cannabis. I hope that helped. Thank you for asking that

Speaker:

question and being honest about that, because it is a real

Speaker:

problem. You don't know we normalize weed. Everybody smokes

Speaker:

it, everything. But weed is not something that is natural in

Speaker:

your body. So if you're putting something that is not natural in

Speaker:

your body, your body's not gonna like it, right? It makes sense.

Speaker:

Your body doesn't make nicotine, your body doesn't make THC, so

Speaker:

when you put something foreign in your body, it's gonna affect

Speaker:

you wrong. So you have to think about that all right. Even like

Speaker:

Viagra, you're putting that in your body, then your body

Speaker:

initially, it's gonna forget how to get an erection on his own.

Speaker:

So I hope that help.

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:

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:

"Does mouthwash cause ED?" Well, indirectly, because when you

Speaker:

take a mouthwash that has fluoride in it, so fluoride,

Speaker:

when you rinse your mouth with fluoride mouthwash, it kills the

Speaker:

bacteria in the back of your mouth. And when it kills the

Speaker:

bacteria in the back of your mouth, it make you make less

Speaker:

nitric oxide. And when you make less nitric oxide, that will

Speaker:

affect the blood flow when you get an erection. So indirectly,

Speaker:

mouthwash do cause ED. So that's why you should stop taking

Speaker:

fluoride product. You should stop using toothpaste that has

Speaker:

fluoride. Stop using mouthwash that has fluoride. They do make

Speaker:

toothpaste and mouthwash that are non-fluoride. That's what I

Speaker:

use. The non-fluoride. They do make that also when you take

Speaker:

antacid medication like omeprazole, Tagamet, Pepcid,

Speaker:

Zantac, Nexium, those medication can also decrease your nitric

Speaker:

oxide because it decreases the acidity of your stomach, and

Speaker:

that will affect how you make nitric oxide. So these are the

Speaker:

things that will affect less nitric oxide production. So

Speaker:

that's how mouthwash can indirectly cause ED. That makes

Speaker:

sense?

Speaker:

"So many supplements are trashed or tainted. How can us, average

Speaker:

people, safely navigate supplement?" That's a good

Speaker:

question. There are some supplements that are tainted

Speaker:

with Viagra in it or Cialis in it, and I have seen it being

Speaker:

sold at gas station. And it's not supposed to be like that,

Speaker:

because those are prescription meds, but they add that in, and

Speaker:

it's for sale over the counter. And so that's very, very

Speaker:

dangerous, because there's a reason why Viagra and Cialis are

Speaker:

prescription med, because if you concurrently take blood pressure

Speaker:

meds with Viagra or Cialis, it can lower your blood pressure to

Speaker:

a point where you could have a heart attack or pass out or have

Speaker:

a stroke. So Viagra, you know, do interact with other

Speaker:

medication as well, too, and that's why you need to go see a

Speaker:

doctor. And if you have a heart condition and you take Viagra,

Speaker:

it will not go well for you. But some of the supplements that are

Speaker:

sold, especially at convenience store like Wawa, 7 11, to make

Speaker:

sure you look at the ingredients on the box. But most of the time

Speaker:

I would buy from people you trust. I wouldn't buy something

Speaker:

that is in the gas station store, 7 11, or things like

Speaker:

that. They advertise wrong and they over advertise. They

Speaker:

promise stuff. But I will tell you this. I'll be so honest with

Speaker:

you guys. There is no one supplement that will get your

Speaker:

erection back without you doing diet, exercise, sleep. Let that

Speaker:

sink in. If you don't do any of those that I just mentioned, the

Speaker:

four pillars of sexual health, diet, exercise, sleep and stress

Speaker:

reduction, no supplement is gonna work at all, even the

Speaker:

nitric oxide supplements and the libido plus. No one supplement

Speaker:

is gonna get your erection back if you don't change your diet or

Speaker:

your exercise. So I'm just gonna be real with you guys. I mean, I

Speaker:

am, because I want you to know that. So you can't just take a

Speaker:

supplement and just eat your French fries, eat your

Speaker:

hamburger, don't exercise, Netflix binge, scrolling on your

Speaker:

phone all day long. That's not gonna work. Just be like a drop

Speaker:

in the ocean. Because I don't want you to waste your money.

Speaker:

There is no such thing as one supplement. I don't care where

Speaker:

it's made, in Africa or Nepal or in China, whatever, right? It is

Speaker:

touted, oh, Miracle supplement. There is no one thing that is a

Speaker:

miracle supplement. There isn't. You have to fix the cause of why

Speaker:

you have ED in the first place, which is due to poor blood flow.

Speaker:

You don't fix that, then nothing's gonna work. So it's

Speaker:

like you take a supplement. It's like you have a car, and the

Speaker:

engine of the car is a problem, but how you fix the car is

Speaker:

you're just gonna add a little bit of oil, and you're just

Speaker:

gonna put some wax the outside, and then that's all you're

Speaker:

doing, right? You take a supplement. It's like adding the

Speaker:

oil in the car. That's not going to work because the engine needs

Speaker:

to be fixed. So you need to fix your foundation. You need to fix

Speaker:

your body, to why you're having decreased blood flow. And

Speaker:

oftentimes, guys, it's as easy as, like, changing your diet, as

Speaker:

easy as, like, you know, maybe I shouldn't be eating a hamburger

Speaker:

every day. Maybe I shouldn't be eating a steak every day. Maybe

Speaker:

I should cut down that fries. Maybe I should not drink Coke or

Speaker:

Sprite every day. I talk to men. I know what you guys drink. I

Speaker:

have men that comes in and drink like 10 Sprite a day, or eat a

Speaker:

steak every day, French fries every day, and taking eggs every

Speaker:

day. The end point is you have to change your foundation, which

Speaker:

is the inside of your body, to fix the cause of why you have

Speaker:

decreased blood flow. I have supplements that's available

Speaker:

too, but I'm getting real with you guys. I'd rather be real

Speaker:

with you guys and tell you the truth that no one will. And I'm

Speaker:

telling you guys this because I know what work. We have seen men

Speaker:

that literally have prostate cancer, had their prostate

Speaker:

removed, and men that had ED for 10 years, and once they start

Speaker:

eating better by following the Mediterranean diet, then they

Speaker:

start to exercise, they take the Good Morning Wood smoothie. When

Speaker:

they start doing that, their ED improved, they're starting to

Speaker:

have. Have some morning wood. They really start to have some

Speaker:

morning wood. And so I want to tell you that you can do this.

Speaker:

We have seen men that have reversed this, okay? And so you

Speaker:

can do it. I'm just trying to get real with you guys. And so

Speaker:

to answer your questions, no magic of supplements, how you

Speaker:

can navigate from somebody that you trust, and also, if you're

Speaker:

going to get something, there's usually an accreditation agency

Speaker:

that test supplement. You can see a signet called USP, U like

Speaker:

an unit, S like in Sam, P like in Paul. USP. You see like that

Speaker:

logo on the supplement bottle, so you can check for that as

Speaker:

well. Okay? I hope I answered that in a long about way.

Speaker:

Collective intellectual.

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:
