Hello there, Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong. I'm a medical

doctor who treated over 7000 men with ED. In today's episode, I

want to tell you a story about a patient that I saw that has

suffered with ED for five years. And that in about 20 minutes

with me, I was able to erase his ED, and he's now a new man.

Let me tell you the story. Let's just call him John, the 46 year

old male who is single, is dating, and has been noticing

that he's really not performing as well as he used to. And just

dated back about five years ago. He had been anguish over this.

It affected his confidence. It affected the way that he

approached women. He loved women. He liked to date women,

and sometimes date a few at a time, and so he didn't want to

take ED medication. He's actually a vegetarian. He

exercises, he works at computer job, and he takes care of

himself. He doesn't smoke, he doesn't drink, and he didn't

want to take ED med, but he's been dealing with ED for about

five years. And now that he's noticing, it's been getting

worse and worse within the last, like three months. And so he

decided to come and see me, and his first word to me was, "I

want to know if my ED is, is it physical, or is it

psychological?" And the moment he said that, I was like

hallelujah. I wish every man, when you have ED, think about

this, is this physical or is it psychological? And in my last

episode, check it out here, is it physical or is it

psychological? Check that out and to tell the difference. But

let's just recap, if your ED is psychological, then you're able

to get an erection at night. You're able to get an erection

with masturbation and inconsistent erection. Sometimes

it is good, sometimes it is not. With different women, it is

good, and sometimes it is not. So that could be a psychological

ED. There's nothing wrong with you if you have psychological

ED. We are under stress, we are human. We can feel, and we have

feelings, and there's nothing wrong with you. That doesn't

mean that you're weak or you're less of a man. In fact, you're

more of a man if you recognize that your ED is psychological or

not. And then what are the physical presentation, whether

your ED is coming from physical, again, check out the video right

here that I talk about how to differentiate between

psychological or physical. If it's physical It takes years to

appear, and then it gets worse over time. It doesn't even

improve with ED medication. And that is consistent. Your ED is

consistent. You cannot get an erection with different partner,

you cannot get an erection in different environment. You do

not get an erection at night or morning or and certainly not

with masturbation. And that you also have either high blood

pressure, high cholesterol or maybe diabetes, maybe obesity,

or that you smoke or you drink more than 14 drinks a week or

watch porn. Those are the major physical causes of ED. And so if

you have one those, and it's probably a check that your ED is

probably physical. And if it's a physical, go get blood work

done, right?

So the John that came by to see me want to know whether his ED

due to psychological or physical. We got blood work

done. And just looking at his blood work, his blood work was

pristine. His testosterone level was good. His cholesterol was

good. His blood sugar was good. He had no inflammation

whatsoever. His weight was good, his blood pressure was good. And

examination, his whole entire body was good blood flow, good

temperature, no abnormality in the penis or the scrotum, and

good Kegel contraction. So by looking at the blood work, you

can rule out a lot of the physical causes and with

examination. So most likely, his ED in the past five years had

been probably psychological, maybe stress, maybe anxiety,

maybe situational. And so when he asked me that, and I looked

at him, examined him, and I just tell him. I said, "Well,

physically, I don't see any reason why you should have ED."

But know, he did have a little bit of low vitamin D. Yes, he is

a vegetarian. We still have low vitamin D, so a little low

vitamin D, but that's about it. So I told him that, other than

the low vitamin D, I couldn't see any other reason why he had

ED at this time. And literally, I can see his face light up. He

started smiling. I see that he literally have 20 pounds of

pressure on his head. Totally lifted. And he starts smiling.

He started having more color to his face. He just feel

alleviated. He just feel relief, like a pressure is off his chest

that he doesn't have any physical causes of ED and that

he feel that it's a psychological. He can overcome

this. And I told him, I said, to overcome psychological ED, don't

put pressure on yourself. Don't feel that you have to perform.

Don't feel that you have to be rock hard every time. You go

with the flow. Relax. You know, like I said before, like when

you have an intercourse encounter, to feel as if you're

going to the playground. You know, don't put pressure on

yourself. Go with the flow. Enjoy the moment and act as if

you're at the playground and you haven't decided you're going to

do the slide, you're going to do the sandbox, or you're going to

do the monkey bars or run around. Just go with the flow to

enjoy the moment. Use your five senses that you have, your

vision, your smell, your taste, what you hear, what you touch.

Use those five senses to increase your arousal, increase

your fantasy even, you know. And so when you do that, when you

use your five senses, you take the thought in your mind that

you have to perform at A plus level every time. That's a lot

of stress on a man. If you put that type of stress on yourself,

it's almost like set up for failure. So that's what I advise

him to do. When the moment I said that, he stopped putting

pressure on himself, think that he has to be A plus performance

every time. I can see relief in his face. And he said to me,

"You're right. I put a lot of pressure on myself. Because with

a woman, I feel that I have to be in my tip top shape. I have

to please her. I have to last long. I have to be A plus

level." That's a lot of pressure, so don't do that,

guys. And when you're not thinking about your penis, your

penis will be thinking about you, and we'll take care of you.

Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to

suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even

defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of

not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the

truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to

figure this out alone anymore. 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.

So I wish every man will do this like John did. That if you have

ED, think about is it psychological or is it physical,

and at least go get blood work done. Go see your doctor. You

know blood work is covered by your insurance, but just like a

CBC, just looking at a chemistry panel, like called chemistry 14,

and we can look at your blood sugar, look at your liver, your

kidney, and then look at your testosterone level, total

testosterone and pre-testosterone, and a sex

hormone binding globulin test, and then vitamin D is very

important as well, and also get your thyroid check, because high

bulb or hyper thyroid, or like low or high thyroid, can also

affect your testosterone, which then also affect your erection.

So with John, I recommend that he takes a vitamin D supplement

and daily, and that will increase his his vitamin D

level. I would recommend he takes a vitamin D3 K2, and you

can check out the vitamin that I recommend for him in our modern

man crib at ednomore.com, and within the. 20-30, minutes, I

have alleviated five years of anxiety, of worry, concern, and

lifted the weight off his shoulders. And the first thing

he said to me was he said, "I'm gonna call my lady friend once I

get home, and we're gonna get started. And we're gonna go to

the playground." I love that. I absolutely love that, because I

know that he feel relief and that he's gonna do well, he's

gonna do fine, and I advise him to enjoy the moment and get his

blood work in about another year to see where he's at.

So I hope you get something from this episode in saying that if

you have ED, do not start taking ED medication, because you're

actually making it worse. You know, first review if is it

physical or psychological? Get some blood work done. And if you

start early, you can actually reverse your ED. Reverse. Okay?

You can actually reverse that. You don't have to live with ED,

you don't have to suffer in silence. You don't have to feel

like you're less of a man. And it takes you a more of a man to

admit that you do. Maybe there's a psychological component of

your ED. And oftentimes, the physical and the psychological

appear at the same time, because when you have physical causes

that caused you ED, the psychological component is added

on on top of that. But then the when you take care of the

physical cause of ED, the psychological component will get

better over time.

So having said that, I hope you enjoyed the story of John and

how within 30 minutes or so, I was able to alleviate five years

of worry, of pressure, of concern, just by just by

evaluating whether his ED is psychological or physical, and

doing some thorough blood work. So don't figure it out yourself.
