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.

Hello there, Modern Man. In today's episode, we're going to

talk about toothpaste and how toothpaste can affect your

erection. Because I am so surprised how something that we

use every day of our life, as always we can brush our teeth,

or our parents brush our teeth, can really negatively affect our

health. Stay tuned to find out how does fluoride toothpaste

affect your health and your sex life.

Fluoride, is what's in toothpaste, right? It kills the

bacteria in our mouth, and therefore it helped with

preserving our teeth and also help with cleaner breath. But do

you know that fluoride can disrupt the microbiome, which is

all the bacteria that we need to survive, that it kills the good

bacteria in our mouth? The good bacteria in our mouth is needed

for us to make nitric oxide. Nitric oxide increase blood

flow. Then blood flow makes erection better. Blood flow is

good for everything. Also fluoride can disrupt the

synthesis or how nitric oxide is being made in the human cells.

So it has three ways where you can disrupt it. It kills the

good bacteria in your mouth, what you need to make nitric

oxide. And then, number two, it disrupts how nitric oxide is

made in the cell. And number three, it interferes with the

nitric oxide enzyme, which then interferes with the production

of nitric oxide. So it really is bad. Also, do you know that

fluoride exposure can lead to reduced expression of the enzyme

which then make your nitric oxide in the blood vessels of

your whole entire body? So what does this really mean? What it

means is that reduced nitric oxide level can increase your

blood pressure and produce poor blood flow. So another bad thing

is that by the time you're 40 years old, 50% actually of your

nitric oxide production is decreased due to age. So you

need to do everything you can to optimize your body to make and

convert nitric oxide, because nitric oxide is pivotal to your

heart health, blood pressure, and it's pivotal to your

erection. It will also impair sleep, because nitric oxide

production helps make melatonin, and melatonin helps with sleep.

And sleep, you need sleep so your body can make testosterone,

and you need sleep to heal physically and mentally.

So what can you do? Well, you gotta brush your teeth, right?

Well, luckily, there are fluoride free alternatives such

as Tom's toothpaste that I have a link down below, right here.

Check down here for the fluoride-free toothpaste that

you can use that doesn't have any fluoride, which then

maintain the healthy oral microbiome, or meaning all the

bacteria in your mouth. And you can make nitric oxide again,

too. And if you're a naturalist, you can use coconut oil, oregano

oil, which should also help with cleaning your teeth, but also

not disrupting the nitric oxide production. So while fluoride

does prevent cavity, it's important to weigh against the

potential impact of nitric oxide production. Sometimes just

rinsing your mouth with salt water is also helpful. I want to

mention also that not only is fluoride toothpaste can be

harmful, but taking fluoride mouthwash. Fluoride mouthwash

also does the same thing. It also kills your bacteria, and

therefore will affect blood flow, and therefore will affect

not only your health, your blood pressure, but also blood flow as

well, and therefore your sex life. So try to use fluoride

free toothpaste, fluoride free mouthwash.

Also, believe it or not, some of the antacids that you take, like

Pepcid, Tagamet, Lexium, Protonix, and Zantac inhibit the

acts of production in your stomach. You need the acid in

your stomach to produce nitric oxide, so therefore you should

stop taking antacid if you can. And how do you do that?

Sometimes eating a Mediterranean diet or a healthy diet will

actually prevent you from having reflux or gastritis. Changing

your diet actually goes a long way in helping you get off of

those medications as well too. So I know sometimes you need

that medication, but sometimes you change your diet. Drinking

less alcohol will also help as well. And eating more of a less

fatty diet will also help with the reflux as well. So check out

the Mediterranean diet down here below. I'm going to leave it

here, and then also the link to the non-fluoride toothpaste and

the non-fluoride mouthwash. This can be easily done. You use

toothpaste anyway, so might as well use one that's non

fluoride, that's good for nitric oxide production and

non-fluoride mouthwash. I'm doing this now because I didn't

know until I started learning about it, so I'm now using it

daily as well. And I used to take Pepcid. I no longer take

Pepcid anymore, and I don't need to if I eat a diet full of

vegetables and salad, which is the Mediterranean diet.

So having said that, I hope that you find this is useful, and no

man that you do not have to figure it out yourself, and that

there is alternative to ED and there are solutions you may not

know about it. And that's why joining the Modern Man Club, a

safe and discreet space where we together will work, will get
