9
00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:41,880
Hello there, Modern Man. I'm Dr
Anne Truong. I'm a sexual health

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,200
medical doctor and treated over
7000 men with ED. In today's

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,510
episode, we're going to talk
about something that's

12
00:00:48,540 --> 00:00:53,250
interesting, something new,
something on the new horizon,

13
00:00:53,250 --> 00:00:56,310
you may want to consider as a
treatment for erectile

14
00:00:56,310 --> 00:01:01,500
dysfunction. It's called peptide
hormone therapy. Particularly,

15
00:01:01,590 --> 00:01:09,120
I'm gonna talk about
bremelanotide or PT-141, all

16
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,110
right. It is a synthetic peptide
hormone. Peptide means that it

17
00:01:13,110 --> 00:01:17,070
is a short amino acid and is
developed for sexual

18
00:01:17,070 --> 00:01:23,370
dysfunction, particularly for ED
and for hyper sexual desire for

19
00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:29,400
women. But what's interesting
about this peptide is that it

20
00:01:29,490 --> 00:01:35,220
affects the brain in stimulating
arousal. Unlike a Viagra or

21
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:39,870
Cialis, it increases blood flow
through the vascular system.

22
00:01:40,110 --> 00:01:46,230
PT-141 acts in the brain by
stimulating a receptor called

23
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:53,490
melanocortin receptor, or MC3R
or MC4R in the brain, especially

24
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,990
in the hypothalamus.

25
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,440
All right, plain language, what
does it mean? It means that it

26
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,210
affects your brain and
stimulates sexual arousal and

27
00:02:03,210 --> 00:02:08,880
desire by activating the nerve
in your brain. Ut can also

28
00:02:08,940 --> 00:02:15,030
trigger nitric oxide release as
well. And nitric oxide, as we

29
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:20,250
know, relaxes the penis muscle,
increases blood flow to the

30
00:02:20,250 --> 00:02:25,050
penis, facilitating erection. It
improves libido and sexual

31
00:02:25,050 --> 00:02:29,250
motivation. So not only
addressing the physical part for

32
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:33,180
erection, but also the
psychological component as well.

33
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:38,430
And PT-141, it's administered
through an injection through the

34
00:02:38,430 --> 00:02:43,140
skin called subcutaneous. It can
also be taken as intranasal as

35
00:02:43,140 --> 00:02:48,270
well. It begins to work in about
45 minutes to about 90 minutes,

36
00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:53,400
but it could last up to 72
hours, so it can last to the

37
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,570
next day. And the thing about
this, the benefits for each

38
00:02:57,570 --> 00:03:02,820
person is variable in each man,
and the dosing is also variable,

39
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:07,080
because in some of my patients,
they respond to a lower dose,

40
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,300
and some respond to a higher
dose. So adjust as you go.

41
00:03:12,450 --> 00:03:17,220
Now, what I like about it, it
works on the nerve in the brain,

42
00:03:17,370 --> 00:03:21,810
unlike Cialis and Viagra, which
works on the penile muscle,

43
00:03:21,810 --> 00:03:25,770
increasing blood flow. So you
can actually probably take the

44
00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:30,480
ED medication and the PT-141 at
the same time, but a low dose so

45
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,390
you don't have the side effect,
which I'll discuss later. But

46
00:03:33,420 --> 00:03:38,010
PT-141 can also reduce
refractory period after

47
00:03:38,010 --> 00:03:41,850
ejaculation, which is really
nice, because it allows you a

48
00:03:41,850 --> 00:03:47,580
quicker readiness for another
sexual activity. And it can be

49
00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:52,380
used in then that has heart
issues that cannot use the ED

50
00:03:52,380 --> 00:03:55,650
medication, and it improves mood
and energy.

51
00:03:55,710 --> 00:03:59,730
Okay, Modern Man, you are not
alone and you don't have to

52
00:03:59,730 --> 00:04:04,860
suffer anymore. ED can feel
isolating, frustrating, and even

53
00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:09,810
defeating. The endless guessing,
the quiet shame, the weight of

54
00:04:09,810 --> 00:04:13,920
not feeling like yourself is
exhausting. But here's the

55
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,230
truth, you are not broken. You
are not alone. You don't have to

56
00:04:19,230 --> 00:04:24,300
figure this out alone anymore.

62
00:04:47,610 --> 00:07:57,720
at getwoodnow.com. I'll see you
there.

63
00:04:51,940 --> 00:04:55,891
So let's talk about the side
effect. Now, the side effects

64
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,184
are pretty common, I have to be
honest. And so it's a 50-50 at

65
00:05:00,252 --> 00:05:04,340
this point. Some of my patients
like it. Some of my patients

66
00:05:04,408 --> 00:05:08,565
don't like it. The number one
side effect is headache, nausea

67
00:05:08,633 --> 00:05:12,857
and vomiting. That is the side
effect. I have to be true for I

68
00:05:12,926 --> 00:05:16,877
took this too, and I have the
side effects of flushing and

69
00:05:16,946 --> 00:05:21,034
headache, even at low dose. My
husband took it, doesn't have

70
00:05:21,102 --> 00:05:25,054
any side effect, and it works
well for him. But one of the

71
00:05:25,122 --> 00:05:29,278
serious side effects is that it
increased your blood pressure

72
00:05:29,346 --> 00:05:33,298
spike sometimes and sometimes
with dizziness. And another,

73
00:05:33,366 --> 00:05:37,591
maybe wanted or unwanted side
effect, because it works through

74
00:05:37,659 --> 00:05:41,679
the melanocortin, which then
make your skin darker. So when

75
00:05:41,747 --> 00:05:45,835
you're taking this, it does turn
your skin one shade darker,

76
00:05:45,904 --> 00:05:50,060
maybe two shades darker. And we
don't know what long term use

77
00:05:50,128 --> 00:05:54,148
it's gonna do, but we do know
what it does. So I have to be

78
00:05:54,216 --> 00:05:58,373
honest, it does have some pretty
serious side effects, but it

79
00:05:58,441 --> 00:06:02,733
does work well, and you can do
kind of combination therapy with

80
00:06:02,801 --> 00:06:06,549
it. It is an injection, and the
need to have a doctor's

81
00:06:06,617 --> 00:06:10,773
prescription. And please, please
guys, work with a doctor for

82
00:06:10,842 --> 00:06:14,862
this, because you cannot self
dose. You cannot get this and

83
00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:19,290
not be monitored, because it is
a pretty serious medication, and

84
00:06:19,359 --> 00:06:23,583
it could land you in the ER for
the side effects of nausea and

85
00:06:23,651 --> 00:06:27,467
vomiting, which then will
dehydrate you. So take it from

86
00:06:27,535 --> 00:06:31,759
me. I've been doing this for a
long time, and I definitely see

87
00:06:31,828 --> 00:06:35,302
the plus and the minuses of
this. I want to be full

88
00:06:35,371 --> 00:06:39,800
disclosure. I like it, but it
does have its side effects as well.

89
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,868
So I hope that you find this
valuable, and may it something

90
00:06:43,937 --> 00:06:47,867
that you can try out if you
haven't tried it already. But

91
00:06:47,936 --> 00:06:52,073
just know that with anything,
discuss this with your doctor,

92
00:06:52,142 --> 00:06:55,659
and take this while being
monitored by your doctor,

93
00:06:55,728 --> 00:06:59,727
because it does have some
prettiest, serious side effects.

94
00:06:59,796 --> 00:07:03,657
So let me know, what do you
think about this episode. It

have to suffer alone. And that
ED is very common. 50% of men

over 50 have ED, and there's
nothing wrong with it. There are
