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.

"I am 32. I noticed I'm not as horny as I used to be, but I am

athletic. Do you think weed is bad for blood flow?" Yes, weed

is bad for blood flow. Weed is not something your body makes.

If you put in a foreign substance in your body, then

your body is not going to agree with it, okay? And weed also

make you kind of apathetic. So I don't know how much you smoke,

is it every day, or is it every day or large amount, but it does

make you apathetic. In my experience, when I see young men

that smoke weed, it tend to add to their ED and their anxiety as

well too, because weed also add to paranoia. As you're athletic,

that's great. You're young, you can definitely reverse your

libido. So you're not as horny, that means that probably your

testosterone is low or low arousal, decreased sensitivity.

So stop the weed. Give it 90 days and see where you're at.

You're young, you're athletic, you should be able to reverse

that no problem. Get your testosterone level checked by

blood work. You go get the blood work done. In fact, you don't

even need an order for blood work for testosterone. In one of

my video, I talk about the blood work that you need to get if you

have ED. So look for that video. But if you're going to get

testosterone level, you should be getting a total testosterone,

free testosterone, and sex hormone bin globulin or SHBG on

your blood work to look at your testosterone. Well, we're seeing

more younger men now with lower testosterone, and that's because

of no exercise, poor diet, poor sleep and porn and smoking and

cannabis. I hope that helped. Thank you for asking that

question and being honest about that, because it is a real

problem. You don't know we normalize weed. Everybody smokes

it, everything. But weed is not something that is natural in

your body. So if you're putting something that is not natural in

your body, your body's not gonna like it, right? It makes sense.

Your body doesn't make nicotine, your body doesn't make THC, so

when you put something foreign in your body, it's gonna affect

you wrong. So you have to think about that all right. Even like

Viagra, you're putting that in your body, then your body

initially, it's gonna forget how to get an erection on his own.

So I hope that help.

Where can you get the penis pump? You can get the penis pump

at ED No More.com or check the link down below this video to

get the penis pump so you can start exercising your penis

again. Remember, you are only one pump away.

Okay, Modern Man. If you're struggling with weak erection,

low energy, the food you eat could be the big part of the

problem. One of the best research pathways to boost

circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual

performance is the Mediterranean diet. It's packed with food that

open up your blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your

hormone, naturally. I've seen men notice real improvement in

both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to this

style of eating. So check out the Mediterranean diet link

right here below, and get that as soon as you can. Stronger

testosterone and better erection.

Men, struggling to stay hard? Most of the time it comes down

to poor blood flow. That's why I put together the Good Morning

Wood smoothie, a nutrient packed blend designed to restore blood

flow naturally. My patient often notice improvement in just a few

weeks when they take this part of their daily routine. Click

flow and firmness today, or go to goodmorningwoodsmoothie.com.

"Does mouthwash cause ED?" Well, indirectly, because when you

take a mouthwash that has fluoride in it, so fluoride,

when you rinse your mouth with fluoride mouthwash, it kills the

bacteria in the back of your mouth. And when it kills the

bacteria in the back of your mouth, it make you make less

nitric oxide. And when you make less nitric oxide, that will

affect the blood flow when you get an erection. So indirectly,

mouthwash do cause ED. So that's why you should stop taking

fluoride product. You should stop using toothpaste that has

fluoride. Stop using mouthwash that has fluoride. They do make

toothpaste and mouthwash that are non-fluoride. That's what I

use. The non-fluoride. They do make that also when you take

antacid medication like omeprazole, Tagamet, Pepcid,

Zantac, Nexium, those medication can also decrease your nitric

oxide because it decreases the acidity of your stomach, and

that will affect how you make nitric oxide. So these are the

things that will affect less nitric oxide production. So

that's how mouthwash can indirectly cause ED. That makes

sense?

"So many supplements are trashed or tainted. How can us, average

people, safely navigate supplement?" That's a good

question. There are some supplements that are tainted

with Viagra in it or Cialis in it, and I have seen it being

sold at gas station. And it's not supposed to be like that,

because those are prescription meds, but they add that in, and

it's for sale over the counter. And so that's very, very

dangerous, because there's a reason why Viagra and Cialis are

prescription med, because if you concurrently take blood pressure

meds with Viagra or Cialis, it can lower your blood pressure to

a point where you could have a heart attack or pass out or have

a stroke. So Viagra, you know, do interact with other

medication as well, too, and that's why you need to go see a

doctor. And if you have a heart condition and you take Viagra,

it will not go well for you. But some of the supplements that are

sold, especially at convenience store like Wawa, 7 11, to make

sure you look at the ingredients on the box. But most of the time

I would buy from people you trust. I wouldn't buy something

that is in the gas station store, 7 11, or things like

that. They advertise wrong and they over advertise. They

promise stuff. But I will tell you this. I'll be so honest with

you guys. There is no one supplement that will get your

erection back without you doing diet, exercise, sleep. Let that

sink in. If you don't do any of those that I just mentioned, the

four pillars of sexual health, diet, exercise, sleep and stress

reduction, no supplement is gonna work at all, even the

nitric oxide supplements and the libido plus. No one supplement

is gonna get your erection back if you don't change your diet or

your exercise. So I'm just gonna be real with you guys. I mean, I

am, because I want you to know that. So you can't just take a

supplement and just eat your French fries, eat your

hamburger, don't exercise, Netflix binge, scrolling on your

phone all day long. That's not gonna work. Just be like a drop

in the ocean. Because I don't want you to waste your money.

There is no such thing as one supplement. I don't care where

it's made, in Africa or Nepal or in China, whatever, right? It is

touted, oh, Miracle supplement. There is no one thing that is a

miracle supplement. There isn't. You have to fix the cause of why

you have ED in the first place, which is due to poor blood flow.

You don't fix that, then nothing's gonna work. So it's

like you take a supplement. It's like you have a car, and the

engine of the car is a problem, but how you fix the car is

you're just gonna add a little bit of oil, and you're just

gonna put some wax the outside, and then that's all you're

doing, right? You take a supplement. It's like adding the

oil in the car. That's not going to work because the engine needs

to be fixed. So you need to fix your foundation. You need to fix

your body, to why you're having decreased blood flow. And

oftentimes, guys, it's as easy as, like, changing your diet, as

easy as, like, you know, maybe I shouldn't be eating a hamburger

every day. Maybe I shouldn't be eating a steak every day. Maybe

I should cut down that fries. Maybe I should not drink Coke or

Sprite every day. I talk to men. I know what you guys drink. I

have men that comes in and drink like 10 Sprite a day, or eat a

steak every day, French fries every day, and taking eggs every

day. The end point is you have to change your foundation, which

is the inside of your body, to fix the cause of why you have

decreased blood flow. I have supplements that's available

too, but I'm getting real with you guys. I'd rather be real

with you guys and tell you the truth that no one will. And I'm

telling you guys this because I know what work. We have seen men

that literally have prostate cancer, had their prostate

removed, and men that had ED for 10 years, and once they start

eating better by following the Mediterranean diet, then they

start to exercise, they take the Good Morning Wood smoothie. When

they start doing that, their ED improved, they're starting to

have. Have some morning wood. They really start to have some

morning wood. And so I want to tell you that you can do this.

We have seen men that have reversed this, okay? And so you

can do it. I'm just trying to get real with you guys. And so

to answer your questions, no magic of supplements, how you

can navigate from somebody that you trust, and also, if you're

going to get something, there's usually an accreditation agency

that test supplement. You can see a signet called USP, U like

an unit, S like in Sam, P like in Paul. USP. You see like that

logo on the supplement bottle, so you can check for that as

well. Okay? I hope I answered that in a long about way.

Collective intellectual.

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

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
