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:Hello there, Modern Man. Do you know that hydration can really
Speaker:affect your sex drive and even your erection. Well, stay tuned
Speaker:to find out. Now, hydration means water intake. On a daily
Speaker:basis can have a significant influence on your sex life,
Speaker:especially your libido or your sex drive, your erection and
Speaker:overall satisfaction in your sex life for both men and women.
Speaker:Now let's start with why. Why did this happen? Because an
Speaker:adequate amount of water supports hormone production,
Speaker:meaning testosterone. Testosterone needs water in
Speaker:order to be made in the body, and testosterone is crucial for
Speaker:the male libido and sex function. And water is essential
Speaker:for blood flow. It is essential for maintaining blood volume and
Speaker:proper circulation. Dehydration reduces blood volume and can
Speaker:cause blood vessel to constrict or get smaller, impairing blood
Speaker:flow to the genitals and also making it difficult to achieve
Speaker:and maintain erection, especially in men, and also even
Speaker:arousal in women. Now hydration or water is vital for natural
Speaker:lubrication, because dehydration can lead to dryness in women,
Speaker:and dehydration can lead to less semen volume in men. And also
Speaker:dehydration or less water can contribute to your mood and
Speaker:energy level, causing you to feel tired, irritable, causing
Speaker:you to have headaches, and even a depressed mood, all which can
Speaker:really make sexual desire and less receptive to even a sexual
Speaker:activity. So the libido and sexual performance is important
Speaker:because it's related to hormone and then less water also
Speaker:contribute to less energy and also impair blood flow. We know
Speaker:that if you have decreased blood flow, that's gonna affect your
Speaker:erection. So recommendation is stay consistently hydrated.
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:is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and
Speaker:restoration. No more suffering in silence, no more trial and
Speaker:error, just real solution, real result and the confidence you
Speaker:deserve. It's time to take back your power on your term. Let's
Speaker:get this journey started together. Check out the course
Speaker:at getwoodnow.com. I'll see you there.
Speaker:How much water should you take? So I want to give you some
Speaker:practical guidelines here. How much water should you take that
Speaker:is adequate? Well, they say whatever your weight is, half of
Speaker:it and ounces. Let's say you're 180 pound man. Half of 180 is
Speaker:90. You should drink 90 ounces of water a day. Typically, the
Speaker:recommendation is 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. But I'm
Speaker:thinking like, well, how much is the glass? Like small glass, a
Speaker:wine glass, or 20 ounce glass. So I typically just say about
Speaker:half of your body weight in ounces. And typically, like what
Speaker:I have right here, this cup is 20 ounces. If you're 180 pound
Speaker:man, you need 90 ounces, and you need to drink about at least
Speaker:four of this a day. So it's good to get, like, water bottle that
Speaker:has some predictable volume that you know, so that way you don't
Speaker:have to say to yourself, Well, I need to drink 4 of this a day.
Speaker:One of my patients did this. He bought, like, 4 of this, and he
Speaker:put it on the counter, and then he count how many he drink in a
Speaker:day. And if he needs to drink 4 or 5, then he just go through it
Speaker:throughout the day. You will notice that when you have
Speaker:adequate hydration, you have better energy, you sleep better,
Speaker:your mood is actually feel better. And of course, you will
Speaker:go to the bathroom more and your urine color typically should be
Speaker:lighter than a yellowish color. They would say probably a little
Speaker:lighter than lemonade color. Know that dehydration can also
Speaker:cause dizziness and light headers as well, too, and even
Speaker:lack of concentration, because sometimes you may feel a little
Speaker:tired today, you may blame it on fatigue, and then you drink some
Speaker:coffee where maybe you should start drinking some water first,
Speaker:before you drink that coffee. I'm guilty of that. I should be
Speaker:drinking more water if I'm busy during the day, I may not have
Speaker:adequate water intake. First thing I do is I feel tired, is I
Speaker:grab my water bottle and drink the whole thing, probably half
Speaker:of it, pretty quickly. Just so that you know that water can can
Speaker:really contribute to your sex drive, your sexual function, and
Speaker:just overall mood and everyday feeling. So think about drinking
Speaker:adequate water about half of your body weight in ounces.
Speaker:Especially just know if you're exercising, you probably need to
Speaker:increase your water intake by about 20%. And now, with the
Speaker:weather getting warmer, you may want to increase your water
Speaker:intake by 20% as well. The hotter it is, the more water you
Speaker:need to take and know also that alcohol and caffeine, like
Speaker:coffee, is a diuretic. Means that it increases how many times
Speaker:you go to the bathroom, the volume you go to bathroom. So
Speaker:when you're drinking alcohol or drinking coffee, make sure that
Speaker:you also increase your water intake. So things to think about
Speaker:as the weather changes and as you're going to the weekend with
Speaker:increasing alcohol intake, and if you're taking caffeine, how
Speaker:much is more than caffeine? More than three cups of coffee a day.
