I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best 3 00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:11,940 selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll 4 00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:15,180 do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how 5 00:00:15,180 --> 00:00:18,360 it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,000 started, and be sure to visit my website at 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,765 sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and 8 00:00:24,765 --> 00:00:27,525 resources from the show. See you on the inside. 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,180 Hello there, Modern Man. What if I tell you this tiny gas 10 00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:47,640 molecule that your body make can dictate your ability to get and 11 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,765 maintain an erection? Sounds wild, right? But the science is 12 00:00:51,765 --> 00:00:57,525 clear, nitric oxide is critical for your erection, and that you 13 00:00:57,525 --> 00:01:02,025 if don't have enough of it, it will contribute to ED. I'm Dr 14 00:01:02,025 --> 00:01:05,865 Anne Trull. I'm a sexual health specialist. I've treated over 15 00:01:05,865 --> 00:01:10,185 7000 men with ED. And in today's episode, we're gonna go over 16 00:01:10,245 --> 00:01:15,870 what is nitric oxide, and what does it do, and how you can 17 00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:16,890 increase it. 18 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:23,860 So nitric oxide, or NO, is really a colorless, odorless gas 19 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,620 composed of one nitrogen and one oxygen. It's actually classified 20 00:01:29,620 --> 00:01:35,680 as a free radical due to its unpair electron. However, due to 21 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,420 its high reactivity, it can actually be involved in very 22 00:01:40,465 --> 00:01:45,625 critical function of the body. So in the human body, it serves 23 00:01:45,625 --> 00:01:51,505 as a crucial signaling molecule with wide ranging roles. So 24 00:01:51,505 --> 00:01:57,085 number one, it cause open blood vessels or vasodilatation. So it 25 00:01:57,085 --> 00:02:01,165 causes you to have more blood flow everywhere, not just down 26 00:02:01,345 --> 00:02:04,090 below. So it's essential for cardiovascular health. 27 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,040 Number two, it has facilitated communication between nerve and 28 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,840 also muscle. So therefore, it's involved in memory and learning. 29 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,820 It's also involved in increasing immunity as well, too. It 30 00:02:18,820 --> 00:02:24,820 actually improve the immunity cells to respond to pathogen or 31 00:02:24,820 --> 00:02:29,485 infection, and also it will help with inflammation. Other things 32 00:02:29,485 --> 00:02:34,465 that it can do, it helps with respiratory, digestion and also 33 00:02:34,465 --> 00:02:38,545 the kidney, by influencing the smooth muscle function and 34 00:02:38,545 --> 00:02:43,165 increasing blood flow to these organs. So when you have low 35 00:02:43,225 --> 00:02:47,065 nitric oxide, it can cause conditions such as high blood 36 00:02:47,065 --> 00:02:50,770 pressure, inflammation of the blood vessel called endothelial 37 00:02:50,770 --> 00:02:56,410 dysfunction, ED, and also cognitive decline or memory 38 00:02:56,410 --> 00:03:01,090 loss, and impair wound healing as well. 39 00:03:01,270 --> 00:03:06,070 So, and, naturally, your body make nitric oxide. But as you 40 00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:11,530 get older, around 40 years old, you make less nitric oxide. 41 00:03:11,770 --> 00:03:16,675 Around 40 years old, you make 50% less nitric oxide than you 42 00:03:16,675 --> 00:03:21,355 would normally would be. So, you know, said, "Okay, well, I can't 43 00:03:21,355 --> 00:03:26,935 do anything about my age," but you can do something to actually 44 00:03:26,935 --> 00:03:31,015 increase your nitric oxide. Well, you can start with number 45 00:03:31,015 --> 00:03:37,360 one, eating nitrate rich food. So this food, when you eat it, 46 00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:44,560 it is nitrate, and in your mouth, and then in your stomach, 47 00:03:44,620 --> 00:03:49,480 it will turn into nitric oxide. Well, these foods are leafy 48 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,580 greens, such as spinach, arugula, kale, swiss chard, 49 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,845 lettuce, bok choy, mustard greens. All my favorite. You can 50 00:03:59,845 --> 00:04:05,125 also eat beets and beet root juice. Other vegetables are 51 00:04:05,125 --> 00:04:10,825 celery, carrot, radishes, cabbage, broccoi, and parsley. 52 00:04:10,945 --> 00:04:15,685 These foods are high in dietary nitrate, so your body can 53 00:04:15,685 --> 00:04:19,765 convert it to nitric oxide. And it will also help in lowering 54 00:04:19,765 --> 00:04:25,030 your blood pressure, as well too. Other food are garlic. I 55 00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:30,130 love garlic. So garlic increased nitric oxide, watermelon, 56 00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:36,190 cucumber, nuts and seeds such as sunflower seed, pumpkin seed and 57 00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:40,810 almond, all precursors of nitric oxide. This is one of my 58 00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:45,895 favorite pomegranate and citrus fruit, and dark chocolate all 59 00:04:45,895 --> 00:04:50,935 contains antioxidant and these help protect the nitric oxide 60 00:04:51,055 --> 00:04:55,975 production as well. Now lean meat, such as chicken and fish 61 00:04:56,155 --> 00:05:01,915 like salmon and mackerel are high in omega-3 fatty acid which 62 00:05:01,915 --> 00:05:04,915 will increase nitric oxide synthesis. 63 00:05:05,155 --> 00:05:30,880 Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and 64 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:36,717 The Get Wood Now Boost Program is your step by step, path to 65 00:05:36,717 --> 00:05:39,947 sexual confidence and restoration. No more suffering 66 00:05:39,947 --> 00:05:45,022 in silence, no more trial and error, just real solution, real 67 00:05:45,022 --> 00:05:50,097 result and the confidence you deserve. It's time to take back 68 00:05:50,097 --> 00:05:54,730 your power on your term. Let's get this journey started 69 00:05:54,730 --> 00:06:01,030 together. Check out the course at getwoodnow.com. I'll see you 70 00:06:01,030 --> 00:06:01,450 there. 71 00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:05,680 Now, believe it or not, regular exercise, such as weight 72 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,220 training or high intensity interval training called HIIT, 73 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,640 can stimulate more nitric oxide. I know, exercise sometimes can 74 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,660 be a little hard, but it will increase your nitric oxide, and 75 00:06:19,660 --> 00:06:22,780 therefore help with your erection. And the key is 76 00:06:22,780 --> 00:06:26,845 consistency. In my last episode, I talked about fluoride 77 00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:30,745 mouthwash and fluoride toothpaste and antacid can 78 00:06:30,745 --> 00:06:33,925 decrease the nitric oxide. So you want to make sure you don't 79 00:06:33,925 --> 00:06:38,725 use those. And you can always take nitric oxide supplement to 80 00:06:38,785 --> 00:06:42,565 increase your nitric oxide. Check out the link right here. 81 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,860 Other things that you can do is deep breathing, deep breathing 82 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,860 that I talk about my other episode, five minutes of deep 83 00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:54,120 breathing will actually enhance your nitric oxide production. 84 00:06:54,540 --> 00:07:00,120 And another thing that you will love is sunlight exposure. When 85 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,900 you're out in the sunlight, it will actually help you release 86 00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:08,145 more nitric oxide. And you know that you can measure your nitric 87 00:07:08,205 --> 00:07:12,825 oxide? Well, you can measure it by using a strip. These are the 88 00:07:12,825 --> 00:07:16,845 strips right here. You just put it top of your tongue like that, 89 00:07:17,025 --> 00:07:20,505 and in a few minutes, it comes out. So I did that for today's 90 00:07:20,565 --> 00:07:24,705 episode. And guess what? I'm a little bit deficient in nitric 91 00:07:24,705 --> 00:07:29,190 oxide, because it's not bright pink. And so if you go to link 92 00:07:29,190 --> 00:07:32,550 down below here, and we're gonna put the link down below so you 93 00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:37,110 can actually measure your nitric oxide, you can go to our store 94 00:07:37,170 --> 00:07:41,910 at ednomore.com to buy the nitric oxide strip. And then if 95 00:07:41,910 --> 00:07:46,110 you go to this link down below, it tells you how to read your 96 00:07:46,110 --> 00:07:50,850 nitric oxide content. And if you bright pink, you have optimal 97 00:07:50,850 --> 00:07:56,055 nitric oxide. If you are low pink or white, you're depleted. 98 00:07:56,115 --> 00:08:00,555 And right now depleted. So I am gonna take some nitric oxide. In 99 00:08:00,555 --> 00:08:03,735 fact, I just did today. I just did like five minutes ago, 100 00:08:03,735 --> 00:08:08,415 before I recorded this session. So the reason why mine is low is 101 00:08:08,415 --> 00:08:14,760 that I take antacid for my gastric ulcer, so it's 102 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:20,160 decreasing that, but I will work towards like you. Eating more 103 00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:25,800 nitrate-rich food, as well as measuring my nitric oxide 104 00:08:25,980 --> 00:08:29,760 content. You do this, you measure about, I would say, once 105 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,600 a week, and you will see an improvement in your nitric oxide 106 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,020 content. And you can also take this, two capsule every day, 107 00:08:37,125 --> 00:08:41,385 nitric oxide, which is made from arugula extract, which is the 108 00:08:41,445 --> 00:08:45,225 best, low oxalate content for nitric oxide. Check it out. 109 00:08:45,225 --> 00:08:50,145 We're getting more of this at our store at ednomore.com.
