This podcast is for you the modern man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,
your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best

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
