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. What if I tell you this tiny gas
molecule that your body make can dictate your ability to get and
maintain an erection? Sounds wild, right? But the science is
clear, nitric oxide is critical for your erection, and that you
if don't have enough of it, it will contribute to ED. I'm Dr
Anne Trull. I'm a sexual health specialist. I've treated over
7000 men with ED. And in today's episode, we're gonna go over
what is nitric oxide, and what does it do, and how you can
increase it.
So nitric oxide, or NO, is really a colorless, odorless gas
composed of one nitrogen and one oxygen. It's actually classified
as a free radical due to its unpair electron. However, due to
its high reactivity, it can actually be involved in very
critical function of the body. So in the human body, it serves
as a crucial signaling molecule with wide ranging roles. So
number one, it cause open blood vessels or vasodilatation. So it
causes you to have more blood flow everywhere, not just down
below. So it's essential for cardiovascular health.
Number two, it has facilitated communication between nerve and
also muscle. So therefore, it's involved in memory and learning.
It's also involved in increasing immunity as well, too. It
actually improve the immunity cells to respond to pathogen or
infection, and also it will help with inflammation. Other things
that it can do, it helps with respiratory, digestion and also
the kidney, by influencing the smooth muscle function and
increasing blood flow to these organs. So when you have low
nitric oxide, it can cause conditions such as high blood
pressure, inflammation of the blood vessel called endothelial
dysfunction, ED, and also cognitive decline or memory
loss, and impair wound healing as well.
So, and, naturally, your body make nitric oxide. But as you
get older, around 40 years old, you make less nitric oxide.
Around 40 years old, you make 50% less nitric oxide than you
would normally would be. So, you know, said, "Okay, well, I can't
do anything about my age," but you can do something to actually
increase your nitric oxide. Well, you can start with number
one, eating nitrate rich food. So this food, when you eat it,
it is nitrate, and in your mouth, and then in your stomach,
it will turn into nitric oxide. Well, these foods are leafy
greens, such as spinach, arugula, kale, swiss chard,
lettuce, bok choy, mustard greens. All my favorite. You can
also eat beets and beet root juice. Other vegetables are
celery, carrot, radishes, cabbage, broccoi, and parsley.
These foods are high in dietary nitrate, so your body can
convert it to nitric oxide. And it will also help in lowering
your blood pressure, as well too. Other food are garlic. I
love garlic. So garlic increased nitric oxide, watermelon,
cucumber, nuts and seeds such as sunflower seed, pumpkin seed and
almond, all precursors of nitric oxide. This is one of my
favorite pomegranate and citrus fruit, and dark chocolate all
contains antioxidant and these help protect the nitric oxide
production as well. Now lean meat, such as chicken and fish
like salmon and mackerel are high in omega-3 fatty acid which
will increase nitric oxide synthesis.
Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and
The Get Wood Now Boost Program is your step by step, path to
sexual confidence and restoration. No more suffering
in silence, no more trial and error, just real solution, real
result and the confidence you deserve. It's time to take back
your power on your term. Let's get this journey started
together. Check out the course at getwoodnow.com. I'll see you
there.
Now, believe it or not, regular exercise, such as weight
training or high intensity interval training called HIIT,
can stimulate more nitric oxide. I know, exercise sometimes can
be a little hard, but it will increase your nitric oxide, and
therefore help with your erection. And the key is
consistency. In my last episode, I talked about fluoride
mouthwash and fluoride toothpaste and antacid can
decrease the nitric oxide. So you want to make sure you don't
use those. And you can always take nitric oxide supplement to
increase your nitric oxide. Check out the link right here.
Other things that you can do is deep breathing, deep breathing
that I talk about my other episode, five minutes of deep
breathing will actually enhance your nitric oxide production.
And another thing that you will love is sunlight exposure. When
you're out in the sunlight, it will actually help you release
more nitric oxide. And you know that you can measure your nitric
oxide? Well, you can measure it by using a strip. These are the
strips right here. You just put it top of your tongue like that,
and in a few minutes, it comes out. So I did that for today's
episode. And guess what? I'm a little bit deficient in nitric
oxide, because it's not bright pink. And so if you go to link
down below here, and we're gonna put the link down below so you
can actually measure your nitric oxide, you can go to our store
at ednomore.com to buy the nitric oxide strip. And then if
you go to this link down below, it tells you how to read your
nitric oxide content. And if you bright pink, you have optimal
nitric oxide. If you are low pink or white, you're depleted.
And right now depleted. So I am gonna take some nitric oxide. In
fact, I just did today. I just did like five minutes ago,
before I recorded this session. So the reason why mine is low is
that I take antacid for my gastric ulcer, so it's
decreasing that, but I will work towards like you. Eating more
nitrate-rich food, as well as measuring my nitric oxide
content. You do this, you measure about, I would say, once
a week, and you will see an improvement in your nitric oxide
content. And you can also take this, two capsule every day,
nitric oxide, which is made from arugula extract, which is the
best, low oxalate content for nitric oxide. Check it out.
We're getting more of this at our store at ednomore.com. Okay.
