Low libido isn't just about aging. Everything from high blood pressure to
smoking and poor sleep is destroying your sex drive. While treatments like shockwave
therapy and stem cells can force blood flow back and restore function, they are
not magic pills. If you want permanent results, you have to fix the root cause.
Here is how a Mediterranean diet, targeted exercise, and advanced therapies work
together to fix your libido.
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.
So, what are some of the causes of low libido? Low libido means low sex drive,
right? Could be a lot. If you're distracted, if you're anxious, you're
depressed, you're gonna have low libido. You work a lot, you're tired. You're gonna
have low libido. So it's related to your lifestyle, your stress level, your sleep
level. Because when you're sleep deprived and when you're not good mentally up here,
you're not gonna be in the mood for intercourse, right? So that makes sense.
But one of the things that condition that can contribute to low libido is low
testosterone. Testosterone contribute to man libido as well as correction. But it
has other benefits such as building bone mass, building muscle mass, burning more
fat. And so when you have low libido, the first thing is don't blame it on
testosterone. It could be multifactorial thing as well too. Like as if you're not
exercising, that you will not have energy. When you don't have energy, you don't have
libido.
I'm telling you, I have a phrase: fix your sex life by fixing your health. Fix your
sex life by fixing your health. Focusing on fixing your health first, your sex life
will follow. Okay, so I help you improve your sex life by improving your health,
because when you have good health, your sex life is just secondary benefit. So
don't try to just try to fix the sex life without fixing the health. You gotta fix
the health first, then your sex life will follow. Does that make sense?
So how do you fix your health? Let's say you have diabetes. How do you fix your
health? Well, you fix your health by following a Mediterranean diet. When you
follow Mediterranean diet, your blood sugar will decrease, and then you will
lose weight. Fix your health, and you will fix your sex life. So you have diabetes
and high blood pressure. You follow Mediterranean diet, your blood sugar will
come down. You exercise, your blood pressure will come down. About 30 minutes,
three to four times a week. Your blood pressure will come down. You don't need a
blood pressure pill. Exercise could be lowest and moderate exercise at met
between three to seven. That means that if you're exercising and it's hard for you to
count to 10, whether it's walking or stairs or running, you want to get to a
range of about moderate exercise. And then, how do you fix your health? You fix
your health by let's say you have high cholesterol because of what you eat.
Again, follow the Mediterranean diet that will bring down your cholesterol level.
Because cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes are the three top
contributors of ED. It causes inflammation. It causes decreased blood
flow. The other contributor is porn. Porn messes up with your brain, so it's hard
for you to get aroused when you're with a real person. The other thing is smoking.
Stop smoking. The moment you start smoking, you're gonna kill your erection.
So those are mainly the lifestyle factors.
I try to make things simple for you. I try to make things straightforward. It's not
that complicated. You know, you gotta fix your health, fix your sex life. Fix your
sex life, you're gonna fix your health. How do you fix your health? I just give
the most common thing that throw off your health is overweight, high blood pressure,
diabetes, high cholesterol. Because if you just do what I just said and following the
Mediterranean diet and exercise, then you will improve your health. Lose some
weight, and when you do that, you're gonna be able to fix your sex life as well too.
So it all correlate with it.
Okay, Modern Man. If you're struggling with weak erection, low energy, the food
you eat could be the big part of the problem. One of the best research pathways
to boost circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual
performance is the Mediterranean diet. It's packed with food that open up your
blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your hormone, naturally. I've seen men
notice real improvement in both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to
this style of eating. So check out the Mediterranean diet link right here below,
and get that as soon as you can. Stronger testosterone and better erection.
Stress is the number one. It's one of the top erection killers because in our
everyday lives we have to recognize that. But then stress lowers testosterone
levels. Stress increases inflammation. Stress decreases blood flow. And knowing
that you have high stress, then it's best to learn how to manage that. How do you
manage your stress? Sometimes the counselor will help. They will provide
some feedback for you. But sometimes they're doing the stuff that you like to
do, like you like basketball, you like baseball. Do more of that. Calm your mind
and decrease that stress. Do whatever things that you like doing. All right. So
that is the fourth pillar is the stress. And my point is, it does take work from
you to restore your sex life. Again, you got to be committed to it. For women, we
have an outlet. We talk to other women. That's like our outlet. For men, you may
not be a big talker, so I would encourage you to do the things you like, hang around
the people that make you relax, and also cut down on the drinking as well too.
You're allowed one to two drink a day, but anything more than 14 a week is too much.
So you may want to kind of keep the drinking more to social and not an
everyday wind down type like thing. You stay here, Fredericksburg. We'll be able
to work together to push because the treatment in my office with the stem cell,
the Botox, the shock wave therapy, the pulse electromagnetic therapy, the Kegel,
just give you a boost in healing, in getting things started with increasing
blood flow. So it cut your time in half and getting result and help you get result
quicker, and it boosts your whole system up for getting more blood flow down there.
The bottom line: even when you get the treatment, you still need to continue
following the Mediterranean diet and also exercise and follow up with sleep for
seven hours and of course doing the penis pump. Those are the one that come into our
Now, if you have sleep problems, stress, and anxiety, depression, that's in the
office. Usually, just do penis pump and taking the multivitamin, the nitric oxide,
brain. So the five signals that you get to get you aroused, like the eyes, the nose,
the mouth, what you hear, and the hand, those five signals send stimulatory
messenger to the brain, would then get filtered through depression and anxiety
the libido plus and vitamin D3 multivitamin and nitric oxide. The nitric
and stress, get filtered through, and when it get filtered through, the noise will be
lower, and then it will reach then to the hormone. The hormone get released, but the
noise will be less because it's being filter through your anxiety, stress, and
oxide is at our store, ED No More, and it's a white bottle, and it has arugula in
insomnia. So, having said that, one of the treatment we're doing in the office is
called the far infrared with terahertz treatment, where we use a wand that has
quartz attached to it, and we go over the actually the kidney acupuncture point as
it, which has the highest content of nitric oxide. The main thing I want to say
well as the sympathetic parasympathetic points in the body. So we hit the spine,
then we hit the kidney meridian, then we hit the vagus nerve, where we want to calm
is that you gotta kind of follow up with changing your diet and your exercise
down the sympathetic nerve and increase the parasympathetic nerve messages. Those
are the main things right now. And then controlling the diabetes as usual. If you
