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. I'm Dr Anne Truong. I'm a sexual health

specialist who treated over 7000 men. Do you know that you can

have sexual longevity, or your erection or the ability to have

sex until the day you die? Yes, the more research that I do on

sexual health, the more I realize that our brain is

programmed to be a sexual organ because the area that control

sexual activity, sexual behavior is in the deepest part of your

brain called the hypothalamus, which is between your ears here

and deep behind your nose, and is protected area. But it's also

an area that is the oldest part of the brain, is called the

primal part of the brain, which is the same area of the brain

that we share with salamanders, we share with mammals, mammals

that are non human, that has been in existence for hundreds

of millions of years, and that is the primal center of the

brain. So what I'm getting with this sexual function is sexual

behavior is the natural behavior for human, because the drive for

human is to continue the human life, to have sexual activity

and to have offspring and to carry the DNA. Because if you

don't carry the DNA or be able to have intercourse, then the

species will die down. So that's kind of like where I'm heading

with this, is that the primal part sexual center is in the

deepest part of the brain, where it's protected, it's in the

primal part of the area, and that that's where all the

hormones and all the nerves are being be secreted, being

transfer when desire, the excitement happens. Remember,

the largest sexual organ is the brain, not penis at all.

So let me give you an example. Mick Jagger, I just saw an

article. He's 82. He had an eight year old son. So that

means that he had to be when he was 74. I don't know whether he

took ED medicine or not, but I hear of men in their late 70s,

even in 80s, be able to have children. Because men's sperm do

not decrease as they get older. You can still make sperm until

the day you die, and you can still be able to transfer your

DNA. It's just the ability to maintain the erection. But the

ability to maintain erection is affected by the condition that

you get, the men get when they pass the age of 35. So where I'm

heading with this is that your erection is natural. Your

erection is primal, and you lose your erection because you don't

take care of your erection. It doesn't happen because you get

older. Aging does not equal sexual decline. Now, many

factors affect sexual function, however, they usually occur when

you get older, especially after the age of 35. Because after 35

your testosterone hormone dip, and then you start to have high

blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and you

gain weight. You don't have time to exercise because you spend

time working, have other responsibilities. You have

chronic stress from either finance or social or work. And

then when you develop diabetes, you'll have neuropathy or less

sensation in the nerve. Then you have sleep deprivation. And the

more you work, the less time you have to really take care of

yourself, and it will affect your work life balance. And then

as you gain weight, you don't have time to exercise, you don't

sleep well, you start to have orthopedic issue. Your knee

hurt, your back hurt, your hip hurt, so you don't exercise as

well, and then it perpetuate into this vicious cycle. Now all

those conditions that I have talked about, high blood

pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity,

neuropathy, high stress, sleep deprivation, work and orthopedic

issues, all combined to affect sexual function. And therefore

these are conditions that you acquire when you are older, and

therefore that contribute to lower testosterone, decrease

blood flow because of inflammation, and therefore ED.

So ED is not something that you get when you age, it's just that

these chronic condition happen when you get older. And it

happened to be that when you get older, you have these

conditions. So people tend to think that, "Oh, okay, I'm

older, and inevitably I will have ED." Well not necessarily

so. What I'm trying to say is that you can have sexual

activity the day you die, if you take care of yourself like

follow a good diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, have active

physical activity, control your weight, have adequate sleep and

just good habits such as kind of decrease your alcohol content,

stop smoking, control your stress, and also porn as well.

Now that was all modifiable, all those chronic conditions I

listed before, all modifiable by the diet, the exercise, the

sleep and the habit that I talk about. Yes, I know this is mind

blowing. The more research and I look into this, the more that I

do this, I realize that, you know, you are to blame. We are

to blame, everyone to blame, too, if you have sexual

dysfunction. Because the way our body is made, you are programmed

to be able to have sexual activity until the day you die.

And the reason why ED happens when you're over 35 and the

older you get, the more common ED is present because of this

chronic medical conditions that I mentioned about. But you can

modify that. I know it sounds too simple, doesn't it? And

believe it or not, I have seen several of my patients that in

the early 80s, mid 80s, eat well, exercise, don't really

stress a lot. They sleep well and they're still doing

erection. For instance, my handyman, he is early 80s right

now, and he has no problem with sex, and he's on his third wife,

still getting more than one, and he doesn't take Viagra or

Cialis. I can't tell you how many patients that I have seen

that demonstrate to me what I have just talked about as well.

Is that you can have sexual longevity until the day you die.
