1 00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:05,790 Low libido isn't just about aging. Everything from high blood pressure to 2 00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:12,570 smoking and poor sleep is destroying your sex drive. While treatments like shockwave 3 00:00:12,690 --> 00:00:18,810 therapy and stem cells can force blood flow back and restore function, they are 4 00:00:18,930 --> 00:00:24,710 not magic pills. If you want permanent results, you have to fix the root cause. 5 00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:31,910 Here is how a Mediterranean diet, targeted exercise, and advanced therapies work 6 00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:34,250 together to fix your libido. 7 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,970 This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong, your host. I'm an 8 00:00:40,970 --> 00:00:45,110 intimate health medical doctor and best selling author of the book, Erectile 9 00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:49,850 Dysfunction Fix. I'll do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how it 10 00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:54,620 affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get started, and be sure to visit 11 00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:58,400 my website at sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more 12 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,045 information and resources from the show. See you on the inside. 13 00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:16,670 So, what are some of the causes of low libido? Low libido means low sex drive, 14 00:01:16,670 --> 00:01:21,170 right? Could be a lot. If you're distracted, if you're anxious, you're 15 00:01:21,170 --> 00:01:24,470 depressed, you're gonna have low libido. You work a lot, you're tired. You're gonna 16 00:01:24,470 --> 00:01:31,685 have low libido. So it's related to your lifestyle, your stress level, your sleep 17 00:01:31,685 --> 00:01:37,325 level. Because when you're sleep deprived and when you're not good mentally up here, 18 00:01:37,325 --> 00:01:41,825 you're not gonna be in the mood for intercourse, right? So that makes sense. 19 00:01:41,825 --> 00:01:46,895 But one of the things that condition that can contribute to low libido is low 20 00:01:46,895 --> 00:01:53,840 testosterone. Testosterone contribute to man libido as well as correction. But it 21 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:59,090 has other benefits such as building bone mass, building muscle mass, burning more 22 00:01:59,090 --> 00:02:06,110 fat. And so when you have low libido, the first thing is don't blame it on 23 00:02:06,110 --> 00:02:10,520 testosterone. It could be multifactorial thing as well too. Like as if you're not 24 00:02:10,670 --> 00:02:15,305 exercising, that you will not have energy. When you don't have energy, you don't have 25 00:02:15,305 --> 00:02:15,995 libido. 26 00:02:16,145 --> 00:02:21,095 I'm telling you, I have a phrase: fix your sex life by fixing your health. Fix your 27 00:02:21,095 --> 00:02:26,285 sex life by fixing your health. Focusing on fixing your health first, your sex life 28 00:02:26,285 --> 00:02:31,655 will follow. Okay, so I help you improve your sex life by improving your health, 29 00:02:31,955 --> 00:02:36,350 because when you have good health, your sex life is just secondary benefit. So 30 00:02:36,350 --> 00:02:40,490 don't try to just try to fix the sex life without fixing the health. You gotta fix 31 00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:43,910 the health first, then your sex life will follow. Does that make sense? 32 00:02:43,660 --> 00:02:48,640 So how do you fix your health? Let's say you have diabetes. How do you fix your 33 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:52,060 health? Well, you fix your health by following a Mediterranean diet. When you 34 00:02:52,060 --> 00:02:56,230 follow Mediterranean diet, your blood sugar will decrease, and then you will 35 00:02:56,230 --> 00:03:00,940 lose weight. Fix your health, and you will fix your sex life. So you have diabetes 36 00:03:00,940 --> 00:03:04,420 and high blood pressure. You follow Mediterranean diet, your blood sugar will 37 00:03:04,420 --> 00:03:09,415 come down. You exercise, your blood pressure will come down. About 30 minutes, 38 00:03:09,415 --> 00:03:12,205 three to four times a week. Your blood pressure will come down. You don't need a 39 00:03:12,205 --> 00:03:16,675 blood pressure pill. Exercise could be lowest and moderate exercise at met 40 00:03:16,675 --> 00:03:22,585 between three to seven. That means that if you're exercising and it's hard for you to 41 00:03:22,585 --> 00:03:27,895 count to 10, whether it's walking or stairs or running, you want to get to a 42 00:03:27,895 --> 00:03:31,900 range of about moderate exercise. And then, how do you fix your health? You fix 43 00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,930 your health by let's say you have high cholesterol because of what you eat. 44 00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:39,820 Again, follow the Mediterranean diet that will bring down your cholesterol level. 45 00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:44,950 Because cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes are the three top 46 00:03:44,950 --> 00:03:49,270 contributors of ED. It causes inflammation. It causes decreased blood 47 00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:53,995 flow. The other contributor is porn. Porn messes up with your brain, so it's hard 48 00:03:53,995 --> 00:03:58,975 for you to get aroused when you're with a real person. The other thing is smoking. 49 00:03:58,975 --> 00:04:03,745 Stop smoking. The moment you start smoking, you're gonna kill your erection. 50 00:04:03,745 --> 00:04:06,595 So those are mainly the lifestyle factors. 51 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,460 I try to make things simple for you. I try to make things straightforward. It's not 52 00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:15,570 that complicated. You know, you gotta fix your health, fix your sex life. Fix your 53 00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:18,540 sex life, you're gonna fix your health. How do you fix your health? I just give 54 00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:22,650 the most common thing that throw off your health is overweight, high blood pressure, 55 00:04:22,650 --> 00:04:29,340 diabetes, high cholesterol. Because if you just do what I just said and following the 56 00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:34,485 Mediterranean diet and exercise, then you will improve your health. Lose some 57 00:04:34,485 --> 00:04:39,825 weight, and when you do that, you're gonna be able to fix your sex life as well too. 58 00:04:40,035 --> 00:04:43,005 So it all correlate with it. 59 00:04:43,065 --> 00:04:48,225 Okay, Modern Man. If you're struggling with weak erection, low energy, the food 60 00:04:48,225 --> 00:04:52,920 you eat could be the big part of the problem. One of the best research pathways 61 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,840 to boost circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual 62 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:02,640 performance is the Mediterranean diet. It's packed with food that open up your 63 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:08,910 blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your hormone, naturally. I've seen men 64 00:05:08,910 --> 00:05:14,550 notice real improvement in both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to 65 00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:20,535 this style of eating. So check out the Mediterranean diet link right here below, 66 00:05:20,535 --> 00:05:26,745 and get that as soon as you can. Stronger testosterone and better erection. 67 00:05:26,750 --> 00:05:31,490 Stress is the number one. It's one of the top erection killers because in our 68 00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:36,680 everyday lives we have to recognize that. But then stress lowers testosterone 69 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,050 levels. Stress increases inflammation. Stress decreases blood flow. And knowing 70 00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:47,810 that you have high stress, then it's best to learn how to manage that. How do you 71 00:05:47,810 --> 00:05:52,145 manage your stress? Sometimes the counselor will help. They will provide 72 00:05:52,145 --> 00:05:56,195 some feedback for you. But sometimes they're doing the stuff that you like to 73 00:05:56,195 --> 00:06:01,385 do, like you like basketball, you like baseball. Do more of that. Calm your mind 74 00:06:01,385 --> 00:06:06,335 and decrease that stress. Do whatever things that you like doing. All right. So 75 00:06:06,335 --> 00:06:12,320 that is the fourth pillar is the stress. And my point is, it does take work from 76 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,910 you to restore your sex life. Again, you got to be committed to it. For women, we 77 00:06:16,910 --> 00:06:21,020 have an outlet. We talk to other women. That's like our outlet. For men, you may 78 00:06:21,020 --> 00:06:25,520 not be a big talker, so I would encourage you to do the things you like, hang around 79 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,640 the people that make you relax, and also cut down on the drinking as well too. 80 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,755 You're allowed one to two drink a day, but anything more than 14 a week is too much. 81 00:06:36,755 --> 00:06:41,075 So you may want to kind of keep the drinking more to social and not an 82 00:06:41,075 --> 00:06:46,235 everyday wind down type like thing. You stay here, Fredericksburg. We'll be able 83 00:06:46,235 --> 00:06:51,695 to work together to push because the treatment in my office with the stem cell, 84 00:06:51,725 --> 00:06:56,885 the Botox, the shock wave therapy, the pulse electromagnetic therapy, the Kegel, 85 00:06:57,275 --> 00:07:03,650 just give you a boost in healing, in getting things started with increasing 86 00:07:03,650 --> 00:07:08,990 blood flow. So it cut your time in half and getting result and help you get result 87 00:07:08,990 --> 00:07:15,410 quicker, and it boosts your whole system up for getting more blood flow down there. 88 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:30,428 The bottom line: even when you get the treatment, you still need to continue 89 00:07:30,631 --> 00:07:46,668 following the Mediterranean diet and also exercise and follow up with sleep for 90 00:07:46,871 --> 00:08:03,923 seven hours and of course doing the penis pump. Those are the one that come into our 91 00:08:01,530 --> 00:08:07,014 Now, if you have sleep problems, stress, and anxiety, depression, that's in the 92 00:08:04,126 --> 00:08:20,772 office. Usually, just do penis pump and taking the multivitamin, the nitric oxide, 93 00:08:07,083 --> 00:08:12,915 brain. So the five signals that you get to get you aroused, like the eyes, the nose, 94 00:08:12,985 --> 00:08:18,191 the mouth, what you hear, and the hand, those five signals send stimulatory 95 00:08:18,261 --> 00:08:23,676 messenger to the brain, would then get filtered through depression and anxiety 96 00:08:20,975 --> 00:08:35,591 the libido plus and vitamin D3 multivitamin and nitric oxide. The nitric 97 00:08:23,745 --> 00:08:29,647 and stress, get filtered through, and when it get filtered through, the noise will be 98 00:08:29,716 --> 00:08:35,548 lower, and then it will reach then to the hormone. The hormone get released, but the 99 00:08:35,617 --> 00:08:41,032 noise will be less because it's being filter through your anxiety, stress, and 100 00:08:35,794 --> 00:08:52,237 oxide is at our store, ED No More, and it's a white bottle, and it has arugula in 101 00:08:41,102 --> 00:08:46,725 insomnia. So, having said that, one of the treatment we're doing in the office is 102 00:08:46,795 --> 00:08:52,210 called the far infrared with terahertz treatment, where we use a wand that has 103 00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:57,972 quartz attached to it, and we go over the actually the kidney acupuncture point as 104 00:08:52,440 --> 00:09:08,477 it, which has the highest content of nitric oxide. The main thing I want to say 105 00:08:58,041 --> 00:09:03,595 well as the sympathetic parasympathetic points in the body. So we hit the spine, 106 00:09:03,665 --> 00:09:09,427 then we hit the kidney meridian, then we hit the vagus nerve, where we want to calm 107 00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:24,311 is that you gotta kind of follow up with changing your diet and your exercise 108 00:09:09,496 --> 00:09:15,120 down the sympathetic nerve and increase the parasympathetic nerve messages. Those 109 00:09:15,189 --> 00:09:20,813 are the main things right now. And then controlling the diabetes as usual.
