Speaker:
00:00:37
Hello there, Modern Man. In this episode, we're going to talk
Speaker:
00:00:41
about why your erection leave you when you have no trouble
Speaker:
00:00:46
getting an erection initially. I hear this a lot, where "I don't
Speaker:
00:00:49
have any problem getting an erection, but I have a hard
Speaker:
00:00:52
problem maintaining the erection to finish, or maintaining
Speaker:
00:00:56
firmness." We're going to go into the top seven reason why
Speaker:
00:01:01
you have problem maintaining your erection and your erection
Speaker:
00:01:05
leave you. I'm Dr. Anne Truong, stay tuned. You'll be surprised
Speaker:
00:01:10
what number seven is.
Speaker:
00:01:11
So number one is smoking. Why smoking is bad? That's including
Speaker:
00:01:16
vaping as well too. The reason why smoking is bad because it's
Speaker:
00:01:20
inflammatory. It affects your blood flow, because what it does
Speaker:
00:01:25
is that it decreases blood flow down below in order for it to
Speaker:
00:01:29
get a firm erection. That's number one.
Speaker:
00:01:32
Number two is alcohol. Drinking more than about 14 drinks a
Speaker:
00:01:38
week. Because alcohol, again, is inflammatory. Your body consider
Speaker:
00:01:44
that as foreign. So what it does is that it decreases blood flow
Speaker:
00:01:50
to where you need it the most, when you need it the most.
Speaker:
00:01:54
Number three is what you eat. That is probably the number one
Speaker:
00:01:59
factor affecting your erection, is what you put in here. So I
Speaker:
00:02:04
always tell my patient, follow the Mediterranean diet. What
Speaker:
00:02:07
that is, it's eating the food that Mother Earth gave you. Eat
Speaker:
00:02:11
what the earth grow for you. Lean meat, chicken, fish. You
Speaker:
00:02:16
can do red meat, but probably not every day. Maybe twice a
Speaker:
00:02:21
week or three times a week. But eat what the earth gave you.
Speaker:
00:02:24
Don't eat anything in a bag or box or a can. Focus more on
Speaker:
00:02:29
whole food. Focus more on vegetables and fruit. What the
Speaker:
00:02:34
bad stuff is that donut baked goods, fried food and sweets,
Speaker:
00:02:39
and anything that has a lot of sugar and fat at the same time,
Speaker:
00:02:43
the worst. So a Mediterranean diet, check out the link right
Speaker:
00:02:47
here. I give you information on what to eat for the
Speaker:
00:02:50
Mediterranean diet, it laid out what to eat every day.
Speaker:
00:02:53
Number four is lack of exercise. You know when I mean exercise?
Speaker:
00:02:58
I'm not telling you run a marathon or try to do hard
Speaker:
00:03:02
exercise. Even just walking 30 minutes a day is exercise or
Speaker:
00:03:08
even walking up and down the stairs is exercise. Even doing
Speaker:
00:03:13
housework is exercise. And your wife's gonna like this, doing
Speaker:
00:03:16
yard work is also exercise as well too. As long as you're
Speaker:
00:03:20
moving it is exercise. We should do that around 30 minutes, about
Speaker:
00:03:25
three to four times a week is optimal. And you want to get
Speaker:
00:03:29
your heart rate up to a point that is hard for you to count to
Speaker:
00:03:33
10 easily. So moderate level of exercise. But you can do biking.
Speaker:
00:03:38
You can do swimming, walking, even weight training. The prefer
Speaker:
00:03:43
exercise is high intensity interval exercise, or HIIT
Speaker:
00:03:47
exercise, where you do a fast exercise for like a minute, and
Speaker:
00:03:51
then rest a minute and do fast exercise for a minute, and you
Speaker:
00:03:54
do it for about 20 to 30 minutes. But that's not for
Speaker:
00:03:57
everybody. I get it. The best form of exercise is walking.
Speaker:
00:04:01
It's outside. You enjoy the fresh air. It relaxes you as
Speaker:
00:04:06
well.
Speaker:
00:04:06
Number five is common medication that you take actually will
Speaker:
00:04:12
decrease your erection. Such as your blood pressure medication,
Speaker:
00:04:17
can affect your erection. Your antidepressant medication, as
Speaker:
00:04:22
well as your diuretics that you take. Again, diuretics are the
Speaker:
00:04:26
water pill that you take for your blood pressure medicine.
Speaker:
00:04:29
Now I'm not saying stop your medication at all. I'm just
Speaker:
00:04:33
saying these medications can counteract the erection and that
Speaker:
00:04:37
you should talk with your doctor about your medication. So do not
Speaker:
00:04:42
stop your medication. However, you can counteract that by
Speaker:
00:04:46
exercising, by changing what you eat, by stopping smoking and
Speaker:
00:04:51
limiting your alcohol. So that way you can take the medication
Speaker:
00:04:54
but it will not affect your erection.
Speaker:
00:04:57
Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to
Speaker:
00:05:01
suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even
Speaker:
00:05:06
defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of
Speaker:
00:05:11
not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the
Speaker:
00:05:15
truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to
Speaker:
00:05:21
figure this out alone anymore. The Get Wood Now Boost Program
Speaker:
00:05:26
is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and
Speaker:
00:05:31
restoration. No more suffering in silence, no more trial and
Speaker:
00:05:36
error, just real solution, real result and the confidence you
Speaker:
00:05:40
deserve. It's time to take back your power on your term. Let's
Speaker:
00:05:45
get this journey started together. Check out the course
Speaker:
00:05:49
at getwoodnow.com. I'll see you there.
Speaker:
00:05:53
Number six is sleep. Getting inadequate sleep. You should
Speaker:
00:05:59
sleep seven hours at nighttime is most optimal and good sleep.
Speaker:
00:06:05
You want to have sleep that put your rapid eye movement or REM
Speaker:
00:06:08
sleep. Because when you have REM sleep, it's when your
Speaker:
00:06:11
testosterone are being made, and when you have REM sleep is when
Speaker:
00:06:16
your mind and body are truly relaxed. REM sleep is when you
Speaker:
00:06:21
dream. It's when you dream you know that you have good REM
Speaker:
00:06:24
sleep. So get adequate sleep because that's how you heal, and
Speaker:
00:06:30
that's how you make more testosterone, and that's how
Speaker:
00:06:33
your mind is more relaxed. And in fact, when you have REM
Speaker:
00:06:38
sleep, you also have a morning wood or nighttime wood, because
Speaker:
00:06:43
that happens during REM sleep. Because your REM sleep is when
Speaker:
00:06:47
your testosterone is made, and that's why, in the morning,
Speaker:
00:06:50
between five to seven, your testosterone level is at its
Speaker:
00:06:55
highest, and that when it coincide with you having morning
Speaker:
00:07:00
wood.
Speaker:
00:07:00
So that lead us to number seven, porn. If you're watching porn,
Speaker:
00:07:06
porn is more easily accessible now than ever, so when you're
Speaker:
00:07:10
watching porn, it messes up with how arousal is processed in your
Speaker:
00:07:15
brain. It messes up with how you release dopamine, dopamine is
Speaker:
00:07:19
the feel me good hormone that gets released when you get
Speaker:
00:07:23
aroused. That's when you get released when you have an orgasm
Speaker:
00:07:26
and ejaculation, and that gets messed up, therefore the
Speaker:
00:07:31
processing of arousal is disrupted. That's how porn
Speaker:
00:07:35
affect your erection, where you can get an erection watching
Speaker:
00:07:38
porn, but you can sometimes struggle with getting erection
Speaker:
00:07:41
with a partner.
Speaker:
00:07:43
So those are the top seven reasons why your erection leave
Speaker:
00:07:48
you when you need it the most. And if you just make a little
Speaker:
00:07:52
tweak, maybe one out of seven, maybe moderate your alcohol and
Speaker:
00:07:57
drinking less, or maybe thinking about eating less processed
Speaker:
00:08:02
food, less sugary food, and less fatty food, that will also help.
Speaker:
00:08:07
I'm not saying do all seven at the same time, but maybe start
Speaker:
00:08:10
with one for a few months, and then get your blood work
Speaker:
00:08:14
checked, because if you change your diet, you can definitely
Speaker:
00:08:16
see if your blood sugar is improved. You can see if your
Speaker:
00:08:19
cholesterol is improved. And if you sleep better, you will
Speaker:
00:08:24
notice more frequent morning wood, more peaceful. You know,
Speaker:
00:08:28
when you wake up in the morning and porn is either yes or no.
Speaker:
00:08:32
It's like you can't just watch a little bit of porn and be okay.
Speaker:
00:08:35
You've got to stop. It's no in between there as well. So
Speaker:
00:08:39
imagine you do all seven at the same time, it will accumulate,
Speaker:
00:08:45
and you'll be surprised what a difference it will make for your
Speaker:
00:08:49
erection. I would do all this first and get your blood work
Speaker:
00:08:52
done and check your testosterone level before you take an ED
Speaker:
00:08:57
medication, because you will be surprised that making one trick
Speaker:
00:09:02
will create a great erection.
Speaker:
00:09:04
