erectial disfunction

impotence erectile dysfunction because you getthe blood there to to achieve an erection and maintain an erection and sothat's an important and useful piece of information for my patients that come inand tell me you know when i use viagra can have an erection but you know ican't do without it that's important to me that tells me that we need to work oncirculation and i'm also concerned about

erectial disfunction, blood sugar 15 percent of people witherectile dysfunction have undiagnosed diabetes so that's incredibly importantthat's a very strong message to your body that we want to interpret andreally work on that diabetes that blood sugar issue because if you have abnormalblood sugar swings that can affect your

mood which can affect your ability toperform it can also affect your circulation oftentimes i refer todiabetes as a disease of the cardiovascular system because it causesoxidative damage what that means is that when your blood sugar spikes high itdamages your cardiovascular system in circulation becomes more difficult andyou can also develop atherosclerosis which is the building up of blacks arethe hardening of the arteries and so that's an incredibly importantunderlying cause and while some men may not want to live if they're unable tohave an erection to me as a physician the most important thing even moreimportant than having an erection is

gonna be i wanna have you live in 2009and have to your hundred and have a long healthy fulfilling life three bloodsugar disease free of cardiovascular disease and probably being that hornyold man at ninety that can still perform right that's that's what that's whatmost men i think one and so this is what i'm gonna help you with today so oneimportant thing to do if you're starting to have erectile dysfunction is the payattention did it start suddenly or has it been something that's been graduallycoming on if it's a sudden change important things to ask yourself are yousomething changing your life is there an emotional component because while mostmen may not want to admit it there's a

very emotional part to having anerection and if you're under severe stress youjust lost her job if you're in an unhappy relationship then you may not beable to maintain or achieve an erection in that situation and one way that youcan differentiate that is when you wake up in the morning do you have anerection because that's a physiologic process that often happens with men andso if you're able to wake up in the morning with an erection but unable toperform later with your partner or if you're able to have an erection inmasturbation but not have an erection with your partner that tells me thatthere's something going on in terms of

stress but also maybe stress hormonesthere could be a physiologic component to it but we'll take a different courseof treatment and ways of approaching that then i would for someone who has acirculatory issue or maybe prostate tissue other concerns like that where itwould be a different treatment groups so if you have a sudden onset and nothingchanged your feeling great and your relationship or just whatever whoeveryour sexual partner is you have to have a relationship right but if that hasn'tchanged stresses ok nothing suddenly hashappened then it is important to go see your physician to get a full check now idon't want to scare you but a sudden

onset of inability to have an erectionwe're concerned about nerve issues nerve damage concerned about possible cancer is asmall incidents but as a doctor i always think worse case scenario and i want torule out those big bad things before i feel really comfortable treating onherbal level right and so sudden onset of erectile dysfunction pay attention istheir situation will change if not you go in and see your physician and getsome moderate than to rule out some of these big bad causes as well as some ofthe other causes could be kidney issues which is also an issue with circulationit could be fire road issues people with

thyroid disease slow fire aid that cancause erectile dysfunction and as i said blood sugar issues will all these cancontribute to that and so now let's focus on one of the most common causesof erectile dysfunction is gonna be people so it's been comingon gradually over time definition of erectile dysfunction is atleast 25% of the time that you're trying to initiate sex either the inability toachieve interaction are you able to achieve interaction but unable tomaintain it and that doesn't count if you're drinking 25% of the time thatdoesn't count alcohol can impair one's ability to have an erection so thatwould be a whole nother issue to treat

but if it if it's not any sort of drugor alcohol use as twenty-five percent of time are unable to do that or more thanone dealing with an erectile dysfunction and so then the next step would befiguring out what the causes so unable to get an erection in the morning andunable to perform now i'm thinking more circulatory issues and so what we wantedto generally if you are a patient coming in to see me i'd want to do some bloodwork and i'd want to check things like your thyroid might want to check yourblood sugar and want to check your cholesterol and i'll talk to learn aboutcholesterol because it's not the big bad thing that everyone's telling you it iscluster also incredibly important and

it's actually a key part of thistreatment but i still wanna know where the levels are and part of that would beif you're grossly cholesterol deficient if you're honest statin drugs and yourcholesterol levels are abnormally low that can be a major issue in yourhormone production including your testosterone because cholesterol is aprecursor for all of your hormones at that base building block to make all ofit and so if you're low it can be an issue with depression it can be an issuewith hormones you might be experiencing fatigue for people that are admitted tothe hospital for depression if they see that the cholesterol levels areabnormally low then the sort of thing

under protocol is to screen them forsuicidal depression because it's recognized the mainstream medicine atlow cholesterol can have that much of an effect on the body as well as yourhormones people with low cholesterol often have fertility issues as well andso that's something that's going to be really important so i'll check yourblood sugar right i wanted blood cell count and just make sureyou're not an emic make sure that there's no infections going on prostatitis can be an infection that cancause problems there's a whole lot of things to look for and then what we wantto do is if we've gone through all of

that and let's say your blood sugaryou're fasting blood sugar is maybe in the nineties or higher that's a sign ofsome blood sugar dysregulation and so that means that we're going to startdoing some of the nutritional interventions both dietary so avoidingrefined carbohydrates so things like breads and pastas also sugars obviouslyno white sugar staying away from the cookies all of those things can be areally important step and for some men it may be a choice of do i want to havemy cookie use cookies you know but that it really can be bad do you want to livewith diabetes and erectile dysfunction or do you want to be healthy energeticand sexually vital so that that's an

important reason for some people that'sthe thing that makes them change their lives so many continuing with this sortof work up that i do with patients the next thing that we do is making somebasic dietary changes and then also if there's a situation issuer and thinkingthere's chronic stress there in their fifties they've been working i'm worriedabout their stress hormones and maybe their testosterone level sometimes willtest for testosterone somebody can just tell someone comes in and they'rereporting a lot of symptoms of low testosterone and in general low andregions which are some of your sex hormones a group of hormones the numberone thing that you can do and i tend to

have people i create a treatment planthat says here's the low-hanging fruit is the obvious one that is going to makea difference for most people then ok well let's we've tried that we've gotthat foundation on board here at step 2 345 of what else we can do that's goingto continue to refine it down and create a customized treatment plan for you andyour specific message that your body is trying to tell you number one thing isstarting with supporting healthy cholesterol so i want you to start witheating 12 eggs that might seem like a lot herethe couple reasons why that's going to be helpful but 12 eggs a day and ideallyi want you to space it out throughout

the day because it's gonna hit a coupledifferent targets for you one i want them to be runny eggs or eggthat's because it's going to be more bioavailable in terms of getting thatpromotional precursor that's in those egg yolks and it's full of nutrients ifyou get a good organic free-range egg or if your neighbor down this street haschicken they always have a sign up for sale get those eggs is going to be a nicebright orange color the yolk is gonna stand up when you crack it you don'twant to get that you can buy the grocery store shelves really thin and light paleyellow color is that some guys have all

the nutrients that you need and it mightbe actually pro-inflammatory you want an anti-inflammatory support for healthycholesterol healthy fats in your body to be a good healthy 812 of those a day nowpart of it that's going to do is going to be supporting the hormonal supportand not for most people is gonna make a huge difference the other part of thatis going to be hearing 12 exit day that's a lot of food into your body andthat's an excellent source of protein so it's going to be replacing we're gonnabe taking away some of those sugars some of those refined carbohydrates that areprobably part of your diet and very hard if you've been eating the standardamerican diet if you were raised on you

know pancakes for breakfast peanutbutter and jelly for lunch and then pasta for dinner at a lot of impotencecarbohydrates and carbohydrates turn into sugar in your body most people maythink i don't understand why blood sugar issues i don't need any sweet stuff outeven like that but they're eating chips and bread and pasta in all these thingsthat just turns in the sugar in your body so it's gonna be helping withmaintaining a level blood sugar by getting small protein snacks throughoutthe day and it's also be giving them hormonal support so that's the numberone tip that i can give you in terms of improving your erectile performance interms of being able to achieve and

maintain an erection so if that doesn'tmake a difference and we want to start thinking about other issues do you havethat i just have issues do you chronically suffer from diarrhea or constipation gas or bloatingand that is suggesting that your body isn't able to absorb the with a foodthat's coming into your body and so then we need to look at ok is there a food allergy is that aproblem we might want to look at an elimination diet or a lot of folks whomight just want to start with digestive enzymes so taking digestive enzymes withyour food especially if you've had your

gallbladder removed you need to betaking a digestive enzyme that has ox bile and it because your body is able toproduce the bile in the quantities that it did with a with a functionalgallbladder and so when you need the pile to break down fats and absorb fatemulsifier them is what we call it medical language and so what you wantedto make sure that you can't they just depends i'm so that you can absorb allthose nutrients there could be in the eggs and then the rest of your diet aswell as especially those healthy fats and cholesterol and you may see a lot ofother movement in your body what i expect to see and what i see what a lotof patience when we're working it

underlying cause is they lose weightthey feel more vital their energy is improved life is better and it's notjust because you're waking up in the morning ready to engage in some funactivities with your partner so that's it's a it's a complete life changed thenext thing that we want to work on is if it continues to be an issue excellent do it you looking to dosomething else or if you just want to do the full treatment plan all at once thenext things we want to do is focus on blood sugar regulation as well ascirculation and so in doing that will make sure that you have all of thevitamins and minerals that your body

needs for healthy circulation andhealthy cellular function and so what that means is oftentimes doing a goodfoundation all multivitamin and also increasing your calcium and magnesiumchromium vanadium all these things i is helpful because it is targeted towardsthe cardiovascular system so it's going to help with circulation if there's ablood sugar issue maybe adding in so some chromium some sweetie is theproduct that we do if you have diabetes or if you're close to diabetes doingboth of those things that's going to be a foundational part of the protocolmaking sure that your digestion is on board if you if you're having thosesymptoms of that just've issues

constipation diarrhea gas bloating thenadding in some digestive enzymes as well increased essential fatty acids i talkedabout the importance of facts healthy fats for hormonal production and also beanti-inflammatory inflammation can cause a lot of issues with circulation and sowe want to reduce inflammation as well now if you're a man and your son to getolder and having erectile dysfunction we also want to focus on the prostatemaking sure to make sure it's not an infection but if it's an infection ifit's been nine prostatitis adding in a prostate support something which has sawpalmetto and it at a very robust dosing when i treat people for prostatitis beeni'm prostatitis they normally will see

improvement within one month oftreatment and so that's going to improvement in terms of course if you'rein free force of urination stream frequency of urination and also willstart to see improvement in terms of the erectile dysfunction if that was playinga component because if you have prostatitis it can also cause erectionsto be painful and that's gonna be even if you're not aware of it a psychological deterrent for havingerections additionally you know the next layer of treatment for that will besupporting the hormone side of things so especially anyone living in westernsociety at some point almost all my

patients i see you have some level ofadrenal fatigue i can going you'll see more talks about that so when i go intoit too deeply essentially it's when your stress hormones have been stressed outfor too long and if you were to look at a chart showing how to make all of yourhormone production it starts off with cholesterol and sugar pregnenolone andthen goes down and shows all of your different hormones in your body makestestosterone estrogen dhea cortisol a whole bunch of different hormones in soall of these together if you've been using too much cortisol which is astressful then you're stealing all of the buildingblocks for that you have enough to make

testosterone and so do the hormonalsupport which is also going to help maybe some of the psychological factorsthat can be playing a role if you have too much stress if you're just feelingtoo tired to feel arousal to feel desire than treating the stress the adrenalfatigue can be a huge issue and men something to pay attention to for thisis my one thing about this for your wife especially if you've had childrenespecially if she works sometimes the psychological component can be becauseyou're being turned away enough times and no one likes rejection and so it'sbecause your wife is tired and has adrenal fatigue you might want to gentlytalk to her about supporting her energy

now i recommend starting thisconversation with baby look he seemed like you really tired and i really wannahelp don't even talk about this expert but most of my patients one of the sideeffects that they see side effects of my female patients of treating theiradrenal fatigue issues is increased libido increased desire and so if that'sa psychological component for you of knowing that when you make an attemptto engage in sexual activity with your partner and she turned you down she'sbecoming more of a life partner raising children perhaps building a homewhatever sort of partnership you have but not an object of sexual desireanymore and so you can change that by

helping support her and then the wholemessages that she's getting for her body so in terms of also supporting her moralsupport besides the adrenal and of things which oftentimes all tree eitherwith herbs either the hype of pituitary hypothalamic formula as well as the malehormonal support formula which actually for erectile dysfunction would probablybe the place to start and less high stresses and issue the male hormonesupport formula would be an excellent one for that in terms of the protocolthat we've been talking about so number one to start with the ex easy to do can improve a lot of things for younumber to making sure that that question

is on track they are having digestive issues thatyour body's not giving you a message saying hey something's going on downhere is what we're trying to do is underlying cause i'm not trying to maskthe symptoms which was what would happen if you are using a prescription drug youmight have an erectile dysfunction because you have undiagnosed diabetes inyour body's trying to tell you hate this is going on let's work on it and try andimprove it but if you mask by taking a drug than your body's gonna have tospeak louder to get your attention and then it might be that you become insulindependent diabetes that you go into a

diabetic crisis that you have kidneyfill all of these side effects of diabetes because you don't listen to thefirst message and so we don't want to suppress the symptoms we want to listento him and address the symptoms and so that's that's the foundation part ofthis so that justin and then making sure that you have all the nutritionalprecursors that your body needs so that healthy body brain and heart pack isgoing to be important for that as well as adding in some of the hormonalsupport on the next layer so that hgh use complex as well as an adrenalsupport something like the good herbs male hormone supporting sure and thenmaking sure that there's the

psychological issues as well are dressedat home making sure that the settings right right so making sure that youryour partner is well supported that any other outside stressors that might beaffecting you are are recognized and addressed and thatwere able to support you in not only having a healthy sex life but enjoyingfully all of your life would be amazing if you could listen to your body for onesymptom and improve and change your entire life and that's what we do withnaturopathic medicine so if you want to start this protocol if you want tochange not only your sex life but your entire life then go to take yoursupplements dot com now and one of our
